Playboy blames tubes!

Quote:
Digital revenues decreased $0.7 million, or 8%, compared to the prior year quarter and $1.7 million, or 9%, compared to the prior year six-month period largely due to a decrease in paysites revenues and lower royalties from various international licensees that distribute our content on the mobile platform. These decreases were primarily due to increasing amounts of competing free content available on the Internet. We continue our focus on efforts to increase profitability of our paysites by building traffic and conversions and improving the customer and advertiser experience and our competitive position. The current year quarter and six-month period were also impacted by lower e-commerce revenues.

Eleven shareholder class action complaints have been filed against Playboy and certain officers and directors thereof in connection with Hugh M. Hefner?s July 8, 2010 proposal to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock not currently owned by Mr. Hefner for $5.50 per share in cash.
