From DC’s Office of the Attorney General (OAG):

“Following DOJ Settlement, Bipartisan 27-AG Coalition Will Keep Fighting to Restore Fair Competition to Live Music Marketplace

Attorney General Brian L. Schwalb released the following statement regarding the ongoing antitrust case against Live Nation, which owns Ticketmaster, for illegally monopolizing the live entertainment industry and concert ticketing services:

“DC’s live entertainment scene is vital to our local economy and culture, and the recently announced settlement is simply not adequate,” said Attorney General Schwalb. “Live Nation has raked in billions from an illegal monopoly that stifles artists, harms venues, and makes it harder for fans to see the performers they love. We will continue fighting to hold Live Nation accountable and restore competition to the live entertainment industry.”

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

This morning at approximately 8:30 a.m., on the D94 bus near 18th Street and H Street NW, a physical altercation broke out between an adult male and an adult female. Everyone on the bus froze in shock, but fortunately a young man stepped in and was able to separate the two. I just wanted to express my gratitude to that young man for his quick instinct and courage.”
