Abstract

Media and entertainment is increasingly concentrated in the hands of a few firms, including Big Tech players. In the Streaming Video on Demand (streaming) market, the trend towards consolidation, vertical integration, price discrimination, and user data collection raises antitrust concerns. The repeal of the Paramount Decrees without replacement further underscores the industry’s potential for unfair competition.

This paper explores the trends and practices in today’s streaming sector requiring regulatory attention to protect consumers and other market stakeholders. Navigating the historical context of the Paramount Decrees and antitrust in Hollywood, this paper proposes new regulation and renewed antitrust measures to promote fair competition in a modern, tech-driven entertainment landscape.
