Real business logic does not apply to Yahoo... Consider the following: A 30 second ad on the Seinfeld show sells for $1,000,000. Therefore three or four episodes of Seinfeld gross more than Yahoo did in the last year (yeah, yeah - I know that yahoo makes money for "free" and NBC has overhead). In syndication, Seinfeld will pull in hundreds of millions...perhaps over a billion. Question: using the Yahoo valuation standards, does this mean that someone would pay $70 billion for rights to Seinfeld?
