You'll have to wait for the details to come out. $500 million of the purchase was set aside for possiblie lawsuits. They also were able to give out $50m in Google stock to some of the biggest content producers in the world to get them to shut up. The beauty of it is that they own Google stock now, and the success of YouTube will directly effect their stock.

The deal is extremely complicated guys. They didn't just hand over a check for 1.6 billion and said thanks.
