Prorate the Paramount Contract if you have to!

[tron3]

We still can not confirm with absolute certainty that Paramount has an out of the HD DVD exclusive contract. "Reliable sources say yes, but Paramount stands fast and refuses to budge." Just how "Universal" a contract is this?

The only possible way out would be for Toshiba to capitulate and prorate the contract. In essence, not getting all 150 million back, but adjusted for an 18 month scheduale. If they pay back 12 months worth of cash, that comes out to 100 million.

That should soften the blow for Toshiba to let bygones be bygones. After all, as I have said in my "open letter" in my signature, "sooner or later, next year comes." Stock holders are waiting Toshiba. Make a move before they move on you.

This year in blu-ray could make all that lost money back and make the stock holders happy for yet years to come.
