Cardozo Arts & Entertainment Law Journal
Abstract
The note argues that the contemporary streaming industry, dominated by a few major platforms, mirrors the pre-Paramount era's anticompetitive practices, necessitating a reexamination of antitrust laws to address oligopolistic structures, protect independent creators, and ensure consumer access to diverse content. It contends that the repeal of the Paramount Decrees and the failure of current antitrust frameworks to adapt to the streaming industry's unique challenges have allowed media giants to grow unchecked, stifling competition and innovation.
