  • Everyday Fandom: Fan Clubs, Blogging, and the Quotidian Rhythms of the Internet
    Everyday Fandom: Fan Clubs, Blogging, and the Quotidian Rhythms of the Internet Paul Théberge Carleton University Abstract: With the rise of the Internet, fans have engaged in a variety of online discussions related to their interests: newsgroups in the “alt.music” and “alt.fan” categories are full of groups devoted to specific music genres and individual stars. But what is of interest in this context is the transformation of those other, more-or-less organized, “official” fan clubs, where the tensions between fandom and organized consumption are most evident. In this regard, online fan clubs have taken on a new dynamic: marked by the appearance of a more direct form of dia- logue between artist and fans and a more regular, even daily, ability to connect both artists with fans and fans with one another, fan clubs are now regarded as a new kind of “community” by some and a new source of revenue by others. This paper discusses how Internet fan clubs have become an important mediating factor in relationships between fans and artists, and between fans themselves. Resumé : Depuis la montée d’Internet, les fans participent à une diversité de dis- cussions en ligne associées à leurs intérêts : à ce titre, des groupes de nouvelles comme « alt.music » ou « alt.fan » rassemblent pleins de groupes consacrés à des vedettes ou genres musicaux particuliers. Ce qui est intéressant dans ce con- texte, c’est la transformation de ces autres clubs prétendument officiels d’admi- rateurs plus ou moins organisés, où les tensions entre fans et la consommation organisée sont les plus en évidence.

  • A Careful Examination of the Live Nation-Ticketmaster Merger
    Marshall-Wythe School of Law A CAREFUL EXAMINATION OF THE PROPOSED LIVE NATION- TICKETMASTER MERGER Alan J. Meese William & Mary Law School Barak D. Richman Duke University School of Law William & Mary Law School Research Paper No. 09-41 This paper can be downloaded without charge from the Social Science Research Network Electronic Paper Collection: http://ssrn.com/abstract= 1542626 A Careful Examination of the Proposed Live Nation-Ticketmaster Merger Alan J. M eese* Barak D. Richman** People deserve better. They deserve the truth. They deserve honesty. The best music, you can seek some shelter in it momentarily, but it's essentially there to provide you something to face the world with. --Bruce Springsteen God have mercy on the man who doubts what he's sure of. “Brilliant Disguise” Tunnel of Love (1987) As great admirers of The Boss and as fans of live entertainment, we share in the popular dismay over rising ticket prices for live performances. But we have been asked as antitrust scholars to examine the proposed merger of Live Nation and Ticketmaster, and we do so with the objectivity and honesty called for by The Boss’s quotes above. The proposed merger has been the target of aggressive attacks from several industry commentators and popular figures, but the legal and policy question is whether the transaction is at odds with the nation’s antitrust laws. One primary source of concern to critics is that Ticketmaster and Live Nation are two leading providers of ticket distribution services, and these critics argue that the merged entity would have a combined market share that is presumptively anticompetitive.

Tucker Date approved: April 18, 2011 iii Abstract ―Understanding It: Affective Authenticity, Space, and the Phish Scene‖ is an ethnographic study of ―scene identity‖ around the contemporary rock band Phish. Utilizing data generated from six years of ethnographic fieldwork, including over one hundred and fifty interviews with Phish scene participants, this project explores how the production of space at Phish shows works to form a Phish scene identity. I contend that the identity of the Phish scene, what the band members and fans refer to as ―it‖ and I call a spatial articulation of affective authenticity, is produced and formed by scene members themselves, drawing from the interrelations between the production of space (practices that create a specific environment) at shows and a white, middle and upper-middle class cultural memory of the Grateful Dead scene. I situate this process amidst a cultural backdrop of 1980s and 1990s identity politics and in particular, multiculturalism and suggest that Phish scene identity be analyzed as a middle class performance of resistance that achieves community and meaning without resisting class privilege.

  • An Analysis of the Ticketmaster – Live Nation Merger
    A Merger of Equals? An Analysis of the Ticketmaster – Live Nation Merger Philip Prorok Chicago‐Kent College of Law Entertainment Law Seminar Professor Perritt Fall 2009 1 Introduction On February 10, 2009, Live Nation, Inc. and Ticketmaster Entertainment, Inc. made known their agreement to enter into a “merger of equals” and create a new entity named Live Nation Entertainment.1 The proposed merger appears likely to have adverse effects on competition in almost every market within the live performance industry. As currently arranged, the merger probably violates Section 7 of the Clayton Act and should be legally challenged by the United States Department of Justice (DOJ). Despite the fact that the boards of both companies have come to an agreement, the respective shareholders of both companies and the government have yet to approve the deal. Before the merger can be completed, the parties must submit information to the DOJ Antitrust Division2, which may challenge the merger in court.3 This paper considers many of the potential antitrust issues caused by the proposed merger, especially issues involving the impact of the horizontal merger on the market for primary ticket sales and concerns due to the vertical integration of the companies. The paper concludes that if the merger is allowed it will effectively eliminate any competition in the primary ticket market. It further concludes that any potential future competition in related markets will be severely inhibited, and vertical integration of the new entity will create significant barriers to entry for any current or future competitors. The merger will likely not create any efficiencies considered by the DOJ when 1Daniel Kreps, Live Nation and Ticketmaster Announce Merger, Rolling Stone, February 10, 2009, available at, http://www.rollingstone.com/rockdaily/index.php/2009/02/10/live‐nation‐and‐ticketmaster‐announce‐merger‐ agreement/ (last visited Nov.
