Live Nation nonsense & the arrogance of tech investors: Talking Trends

On this episode of Music Business Worldwide's Talking Trends, MBW
founder, Tim Ingham, is once again joined by Charlie
D'Atri, to discuss two key recent headlines from the world of
entertainment.

This week's duo of topical picks get our hosts more irritated
than usual:

(1) The US Department of Justice suing Live Nation and
Ticketmaster in a bid to break up what it describes as an
"unlawful monopoly".

(2) Generative AI Suno raising $125 million, as its prime
investor – venture capital firm Lightspeed Partners – claims that
the app can spit out music "worthy of Top 40 radio".

People and companies mentioned on this Talking Trends podcast
include: Live Nation, Ticketmaster, Michael Rapino, Lightspeed
Partners, Suno, Olivia Rodrigo, and more.
