Wow. There are a lot of people in here that swear they know what they're talking about on both sides.
1. The original comments from Lainie Goldstein are obnoxiously vague in what they actually mean. They obviously weren't meant as a means to spills the beans on a private deal to the general public. So much can be assumed by his comments, but very little derived. There's also a lack of content since we don't have the question he was asked in the stripped articles we're getting his quote from.
2. Are we seriously listening to Michael Pachter now because it's convenient? I mean really. I'm not saying the guy is wrong, but let's at least show a little consistency here regarding the man.
3. Really what we know from this deal is very little, because that's all anyone that does know cares to tell us. So let's act like we know as much as we actually do and stop the nonsense assumptions on good or bad business practices.
