●グーグルのCEOはYouTubeの為の引当金計上の噂を否定

どうもグーグルとYouTubeの取引には、著作権裁判の為の引当金が５億ドルほど積まれていると言う噂が出ています。でもエリック・シュミットCEOは噂を否定しています。

Speaking to more than 500 Internet industry insiders at the annual Web 2.0 Summit, Schmidt said an anonymous blog post asserting YouTube has reserved $500 million for legal claims, out of the $1.65 billion takeover price, was "not true."
Web and sports entrepreneur Mark Cuban, an outspoken critic of the Google-YouTube deal, late last month posted a claim from an anonymous blogger that he had inside information on the secret reserve plan.
The blogger claimed to be a digital media industry veteran with inside knowledge of the deal. Cuban introduced the rumor on his Blog Maverick site, saying he had not verified the details, but that the rumor "rings true" and he trusted the source.
