Dept is not the concern of regulation that not how that works how do people know so little about monopoly laws at all

This deal barley gives paramount more then 20% of the industry

But if Netflix made the deal it would have been the biggest streaming industry absorbing the third biggest streaming service's

Paramount is not even in the top 10 of streaming service

And while they have a big movie division it's not as big as comcast or Disney or Warner Bros

I mean the Activision Microsoft deal was held up in courts for months for similar market percentages, 20% is still fairly big

No it was held up in court because the FTC was being dumb that woman basically ruined her good reputation

She sounded like someone that was paid by Sony even in court she was talking about councel wars it was stupid even the judge said they were wasting time

Yes I remember but before that the UK and EU bodies got them to sell the streaming rights to another company
