Re: [ARSCLIST] Motown Archives Video

Was there ever made public anywhere a full list of what Universal Music assets were destroyed in the 
Hollywood fire? There were many rumors floating around in various non-credible internet corners, but 
I've never seen an official statement from either Universal Music (owner of the music masters stored 
on the film lot) or GE (owner of the film lot). Or, for that matter, fire investigators. Since both 
Universal's owner Vivendi and GE are public companies, wouldn't they need to list a big potential 
lawsuit issue like this in some SEC filing? Or is that all covered by insurance?
