The Aftermath of the Live Nation Trial: A Conversation with Kevin Erickson

Last week, a federal jury found that Live Nation and Ticketmaster illegally abused their monopoly power in the live music industry. What does that decision mean for the music industry, and our national fight against corporate control? Kevin Erickson, who leads a music industry advocacy organization called Future of Music Coalition, has been on the front lines of the fight against the Live Nation monopoly for years. Kevin joins WSR Podcast co-host Danny Caine and me to talk about the trial, the jury’s monumental decision, and what comes next for competition and fairness in live music.
