From the Delaney Report: International Newsletter for Marketing, Advertising and Media Executives – one of most reputable sources in the industry:

publishing source... All's not well at Sweden-based Bonnier Group's U.S. operation (includes Outdoor Life, Field and Stream, Working Mother, etc.). Source of unrest: BG's Boulder, CO.-based mountain sports group (magazines Ski, Skiing, Snowboarding, etc., and the feature film/TV/event production arm Warren Miller). "The wheels are falling off and everyone is looking for a job at the (msg). There is no leadership (group publisher Mike Federle commutes from New York and Federle's boss Dave Freygang works from his home in Truckee, Ca.). Ad pages are plummeting and sponsor deals are dying. Edit pages are being cut and Warren Miller ticket sales are down between 10% and 20%." a BG executive said.

sadly enough this could be really bad for L1P, it supports their case that using Warrens Voice will effect their sales.

there's no causation in those stats. you can make the argument that l1p's use of warren millers voice caused the drop in ticket sales just as easily as you could make the argument that wme's instigating of a frivolous lawsuit caused the drop (which would probably be easier since you could use all of the online discussions about the boycott as proof of the latter)

WME really had this coming to them in my opinion. So not much of a surprise to me.

Totally deserving of it though. It sucks too, because WME films were pretty good, but now, Im not going to watch them anymore. Shows how one dick move can ruin a company
