Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
We believe the ruling referenced in Item 8.01 below constitutes reversible error, based on consultation and advice from our legal counsel, and will petition to appeal. We will also continue to pursue the arbitration award, and believe that, if necessary, a new arbitration award will again be entered in our favor. In addition, we will also execute upon our UCC-1 security interest in our existing titles with the content provider, as well as three future titles, through a notice of sale of our collateral.
Unless otherwise required by law, we disclaim any obligation to release publicly any updates or any changes in its expectations or any change in events, conditions, or circumstances on which any forward-looking statements are based.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
On November 30, 2005, the Los Angeles County Superior Court denied our petition to confirm the arbitration award described under the heading “Arbitration Award and Related Music Publishing Liability” on page 20 of our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 for procedural reasons, and ordered a rehearing of the matter before a new arbitrator.
