## Resource

Jason and Paul welcome Sheehan Perera (Concertpants) back to the show to discuss the latest ruling against Ticketmaster and Live Nation. A jury decided the concert mega-company is, in fact, a monopoly having broken anti-trust laws. So now what? We discuss what the sentencing might be including the possibile separation of the two companies. Plus, what does the ruling mean for venues, promotors, artists, and music fans?
