They wouldn't be concerned one iota. What you've quoted is a warped justification that emerged among some folks for why GSN never leases any 80s stuff from Sony. It's easier for some people to rationalize the idea that "GSN doesn't lease the shows in question because Sony won't let them" rather than acknowledge that maybe, just maybe, GSN simply doesn't *want* to lease 25-year-old reruns of Jeopardy when they can get something a little newer.

Exactly, and thanks to both of you for pointing this out. The original comment runs dangerously close to posting false information on our board. Nothing of the sort has ever been "proven" because it's nonsense. Honestly, I don't even hear the rumor that much, though I'm rarely on the GSN boards anymore.
