- giobox 6y agoI was at law school during that merger and it was a major focus of the Competition Law course, one of the most obvious monopolies that was ever allowed to proceed in recent times really. I think entire academic staff expected the opposite outcome too!
- anigbrowl 6y agoI love law as a field, but the sad fact is that it's often a post-facto rationalization/repair of power politics. Sometimes it's like a conference of physicists trying to demonstrate that a fire in the room is not that hot instead of pouring water onto it.
- PostThisTooFast 6y agoTicketMaster was a textbook example of a consumer-harming monopoly WAY before that merger. I’ve written to a few senators about it. Jack shit has been done, of course.
