Sirius Satellite Radio Inc., which liberated radio shock jock Howard Stern from the federal decency standards that he felt had shackled him, is finding that freedom's just another word for $500 million to lose.
Since Jan. 9, when Stern debuted on Sirius, pirated versions of the shows have been made available for free via several online file-sharing networks just hours after Stern signs off. The New York-based broadcaster signed Stern to a five-year, half-billion-dollar contract in 2004.

Gee that's too bad. Didn't see that coming.
I think this Stern thing is going to be a pretty big flop for them. Wasn't half the appeal (at least) that he was always "pushing the envelope". Now there is no envelope. There is no risk involved. He's not a rebel anymore, he's just a guy who talks dirty. Hoo boy that sounds interesting. 500 million bucks for bad language and what must be real compelling interviews with porn stars. Good move.
