13. Taylor Swift vs Ticketmaster
<p>When tickets for Taylor Swift’s latest tour went on sale in November, Ticketmaster was overwhelmed by forces inside and outside of its control, which resulted in a ticketing fiasco. Looking for reasons, many seized upon Ticketmaster’s market power in ticketing and the broader live music industry, especially after its 2010 merger with Live Nation. As FTC Chair Lina Khan quipped, the fiasco “converted more Gen Zers into anti-monopolists overnight than anything I could have done”. In this episode, we dive into the origins and contemporary manifestations of the Ticketmaster-Live Nation monopoly.

11. What About Microsoft? (Part 2)
<p>The European Commission’s cases against Microsoft in the 2000s set the framework for the assessment of abusive conduct related to product integration and interoperability, and Microsoft became the first “big tech” company with direct experience of the power of antitrust enforcers. In this episode, we explore how Microsoft adapted its conduct in light of the imposed remedies and their continuous supervision, tracing how the company’s relationship with government enforcers evolved over time. No longer merely a defendant, Microsoft has more recently leveraged its experience to put pressure on its digital rivals and influence ongoing antitrust enforcement in the tech sector.</p> <p>Let us know what you think, by engaging with MONOPOLY ATTACK on <a href="https://twitter.com/MonopolyAttack">Twitter</a> (@MonopolyAttack) and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/monopoly-attack">LinkedIn</a></p> <p>Learn more about the hosts:</p> <p>Kay Jebelli, Counsel to the Computer & Communications Industry Association - <a href="https://twitter.com/KayJebelli">Twitter</a> (@KayJebelli), <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/kayjebelli/">LinkedIn</a>, <a href="https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/cf_dev/AbsByAuth.cfm?per_id=1543611">SSRN</a></p> <p>Friso Bostoen, Academic at KU Leuven & Research Foundation Flanders - <a href="https://twitter.com/BostoenFriso">Twitter</a> (@BostoenFriso), <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/frisobostoen/">LinkedIn</a>, <a href="https://ssrn.com/author=2612626">SSRN</a></p>
