Uh...First, we must have the denials:
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601101&sid=aQMGgh2LV_bU
(As in, just because they COULD...)

Although it does emphasize the story that Paramount/DW was actually
*second* on Toshiba/MS's shopping list--
And that Paramount had only taken the Bribe after buying T/MS's slightly
defective sales pitch of "Oh, sure, we're in negotiations with Warner
right now, it's in the bag--Don't worry, you won't be alone, that new
studio majority for HD should be along any day now..."
