V -- I looked it up yesterday. Problem with Vivendi Universal as a company is that they derive the vast sum of their profits from entertainment products. They have the same problems as the entire music and movie industry in having their entire business model erased by digital piracy.
IMO, there needs to be an enforcable international treatise on digital piracy, and the propagation of ripped music and movies through the Internet, before companies like these will again attract the confidence of investors.
