Author Topic: Cinema Buyers Group To Be Absorbed Into NATO??? Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-08-2006 10:47 PM                     I heard this from a customer yesterday. Has anyone else heard this. So far CBG hasn't done much of any thing noteworthy. I wonder if this is to bolster it and actually have it do something or to snuff it out for good.

They say it will lower administrative costs and that non NATO members will still be allowed in the group.  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 10-09-2006 03:38 PM                        This is an interesting problem from the stand point of anti-trust.

After all, Sumner Redstone has had a studio AND his theatres for these many years without nary a peep from the Justice Department.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-09-2006 08:47 PM                     quote: Tim Reed AND his theatres for these many years without nary a peep from the Justice Department. Cause he gave all the justices free lifetime passes to his theaters. Of course if we really still had any justice they would have peeped by now.  |  IP: Logged
