We'll see how this plays out in reality, but it seems like a win for those who patronize live entertainment.

Hopefully that sweetheart deal that the Trump DoJ secretly reached will be tossed out.

"...everyone finally shut up, and the audience could enjoy the beginning of the Anatevka Pogram in peace."

It'll be appealed for the next 10 years and ultimately settle with a fraction of $ awarded, if that. The monopoly has existed for decades with no action from state or fed governments. Fifteen percent fee charge when you buy and again when you sell. And the buyer also pays the 15%. It's beyond monopoly. It's more like a mafia shakedown and DOJ will do nothing.
