> Are you saying you’re guaranteed your business in the face of, granted stiff, competition? Remember, corporations are legal fictions and exist only at the pleasure of the government. So they can get ordered around by as little or as big of a tyrannical judiciary as they please. Most people love this situation to be honest. It’s simply too dangerous to run a business without a corporation now due to the same lawless judiciary. It didn’t used to be this way. And? Are you saying you’re guaranteed your business in the face of, granted stiff, competition?No, you’re allowed to prevent actions that might be harmfully illegal, until the courts can settle things out.

No, you’re allowed to prevent actions that might be harmfully illegal, until the courts can settle things out. I suggest you look up what competition means in regards to markets. Fall is the period between summer and Winter. Unless, perhaps, one is a subject to a man who claims it is God’s will that he have the right to rule over men. Is expensive once you tack on the cost of the internet connection, but if all you are interested in is sports it could be attractive. How much does FUBO cost? Last time I looked at Fubo TV, the cheapest I could get it was still north of $70/month. Roughly the same amount we saved by dropping cable TV in the first place. I mean I guess there’s monopoly concerns and it would suck for Fubo, but I’m not sure why they’re entitled to keep a competitor out of the market.

How about YouTube TV? Would this conglomerate also put YTTV out of business? If so, that would be a case for anticompetitive behavior, but if not, then perhaps that indicates weakness on the part of Fubo.

And fuck all those consumers who could service at “half the prices of current services”. I would think you’d have to be particularly stupid not to know how the story of how stuff like this ends. This is market collusion to *reduce competition*. In what world do you think this ends up net positive for consumers? “Approve us. The first hit is half the price, so consumers love us.” Preventing a new company from entering the market is the very definition of limiting competition. Free love! A new competitor can’t enter the market because….,,,it would be bad for competition?! Please explain to me how this is “a new competitor”. because oligopolies are a new thing? Mod parent up. These three sleazy corporations want to fight a monopoly by creating another. This is bad. If every one of the three created its own competitor to fubo, then it would be good. Can somebody give me a reasonable answer why three giant corporations decided to play in one team? Why else if not to create a monopoly? Ah, and duck the greedy mouse, by the way, in all of its endeavours. no not double the rates, provides enhanced add free service at a higher rate, oh you wanted your mobile device and laptop to work at the same time, here is another tack on fee. but fuck it costs less then what you are going to lose in all that sport betting today.
