But they're not losing money due to subscribers discovering "unauthorized" and hard to access alternatives to Stern. The exclusivitiy of the Stern show on satellite radio makes it hard to capture new listeners the show NEEDS to bleed out into the mainstream. The affiliation Sirius has with Crystal.net allows them to do this discretely its a very cost effective marketing strategy. Sirius wins. They just downplay the whole thing (there's a balance) so as not to lose subscribers, which isnt a big fear anyway since Shoutcast cant be received in cars, where most of its listeners are (or at least not more easily than receiving Sirius directly).
