Dave Wakeman's The Business of Fun Podcast

John Breyault thinks monopolies will monopoly...I agree.

My guest today is John Breyault. John is with the National Consumers League . His work is on consumer protection. Which made a conversation about the Live Nation trial timely. We cover a lot of ground about Live Nation and tickets including: The 2010 merger between Live Nation and Ticketmaster The consent decree that was supposed to reign in some behaviors Structural v. Behavioral remedies. And, why in this case, structural remedies might make more sense. Bad actors. And, more! I've written too many words about this case, but if you haven't had the chance to read them: Ticketmaster Won. Everyone Else Lost. That's Why Tickets Are Broken. David Marcus Replies. (On LinkedIn) DOJ Settlement The Fix Was Always In David Cooper's Guest Post Even If the States Win, Will It Be Enough? Must Be Nice Not to Know. Michael Rapino's Testimony.
