The acquisition, announced Friday, would bring two of the industry’s biggest players in film and TV under one roof and alter the entertainment industry landscape.

basically: netflix just acquired warner bros. discovery.

i think that all monopolies should be split up into different smaller companies which would be given to the workers and then collectivized. seriously!

edit: i just edited the title and such. seriously!

    It’s not a done deal yet, your headline makes it sound like it just went through and it hasn’t yet. It could take a while depending on the regulatory hurdles.

    "It’s typical in the days and weeks following a deal announcement of this scale for interest groups, politicians and corporate competitors to call foul on antitrust grounds.

    The Department of Justice is most likely to review the deal, as it has other media mergers in the past, and it could take some time. DOJ reviews can take anywhere from months to more than a year.

    Netflix said Friday it expects the transaction to close in 12 to 18 months, after Warner Bros. Discovery spins out its portfolio of cable networks into Discovery Global."
