Streaming Wars For Live Sports, Entertainment, and Gambling

A high-stakes court case as concerns the entertainment media is in progress here in August in Manhattan, for which the result I think would affect most of the plans in the streaming industry, as it migrates more live sports to streaming:

Since Tuesday, federal court Judge Margaret Garnett has presided over four days of testy hearings over Fubo’s motion for a preliminary injunction. Fubo contends Venu is anticompetitive and violates antitrust law because the three giants are licensing just their sports channels to Venu, which they won’t do for other pay-TV distributors. Fubo seeks the right to license only the sports channels from those giants. Venu, which will cost $42.99 per month, will boast 14 sports-related channels.
