Partner Amanda Lewis Files Amicus Brief in FuboTV’s Antitrust Case Against Disney, Fox, and Warner Bros
Earlier this week, Cuneo Gilbert & LaDuca Partner Amanda Lewis filed an amicus brief on behalf of a coalition of consumer advocacy and public interest groups including Sports Fans Coalition, the American Antitrust Institute, American Economic Liberties Project, the Center for Democracy & Technology, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Public Knowledge, National Consumers League, and Open Markets Institute in support of FuboTV’s antitrust case against Disney, Fox, and Warner Bros. Fubo’s case challenges the Defendants’ proposed new live sports streaming joint venture, Venu Sports, arguing that it would create a de facto monopoly. The brief argues that upholding the lower court’s preliminary injunction order blocking the joint venture, “is the only way to ensure consumer access to new products and services that sports fans want without subjecting them to a monopolist’s unchecked power over pricing and terms.”
FuboTV secured a preliminary injunction in August to block the joint venture, but the Defendants appealed the decision. The appeal is now pending in the Second Circuit Court of Appeals.
