Yeah the possible chilling effect here is terrifying tbh, especially with all the mergers happening. Using the courts to get redress is a core pillar of our world (whether it should be or not is another topic). Imagine if Live Nation had a policy that anybody who works for any firm who is involved in any litigation against the company (or it’s many subsidiaries) can’t attend any of their shows or go to any of their venues. Firms would absolutely hesitate before they took on any related case bc of the impact on their employees, functionally increasing the ability of LN to do more bad.

It’s a gross system.




Moving corporate conflict resolution out of the courts looks like a slope that could become quite slippery in the future.
