from Best of Business · host Newstalk ZB
The United States Department of Justice is suing music promoter Live Nation - claiming it's using illegal tactics to hold a monopoly over live music. The Ticketmaster parent company has been accused of running an illegal monopoly on live music events in America. Variety Executive Music Editor Jem Aswad says it's unlikely if things will get better for fans, even if the companies are broken up "The real question is - even if they're broken up, will things get better for fans? And I don't really see a compelling case for that beyond the Justice Department's assurances." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
