Hi, Welcome to BIG, a newsletter about the politics of monopoly. If you’d like to sign up, you can do so here. Or just read on… Today I’m going to write about the Google-Looker merger, as well as the proposed end of the legal structure underpinning Hollywood movie distribution. The movie industry is structured by an antitrust deal cut between the DOJ and studios in 1948 known as the Paramount Consent Decrees, a deal that essentially separated film production and distribution. Trump DOJ chief Makan Delrahim just announced he’s going to ask a court to get rid of this deal. This matters, and I’ll be explaining how.
