A war on behavioural remedies: The Tipline for 30 November 2017

Today, we have critiques on AT&T and Time Warner’s answer to the government’s decision to block their merger, including an analysis that hints at a possible reason the Department of Justice filed suit last week. Could it be an “abject hatred of behavioural remedies”? We also have a preview of the DOJ’s oral arguments against performing rights organisation Broadcast Music Inc. They will be squaring off tomorrow in round one of appellate litigation to decide whether BMI licensing is still subject to what some consider an ancient consent decree.
