<p>Paramount’s currently doing their CinemaCon presentation, so we’ll likely follow up on this post at some point in the future. But before we do any of that, we’ve gotta talk about this Street Fighter trailer, because it looks… pretty fun? Seriously, this seems like a great time, even though the nerds will likely find something to be mad about. We’ll be real: between Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter, MK is the most inherently cinematic, and they’ve leaned into it hard […]</p>

Earlier this week, in a combined action filed by 38 states (as opposed to the Federal government), a jury found that Live Nation has acted as an illegal monopoly. The trial lasted for a whopping seven weeks and the jury deliberated for four days. The penalty against live nation will be decided later, but they could range from significant monetary damages to a break up of Live Nation and Ticketmaster. Live Nation issued a stern response, which stated, in part, "The jury’s verdict is not the last word on this matter. Pending motions will determine whether the liability and damages rulings stand.” The matter follows a Federal suit against Live Nation which settled last month. That matter was initiated with the goal of breaking up Ticketmaster/livenation. However, the matter settled with Livenation agreeing to make minor, nearly nominal, alterations to its business practices after Trump intervened and spoke to the Fed Gov and ticketmaster.
