    WBD, Disney, and Fox’s live sports streaming service might be in trouble.

    After Fubo filed an antitrust lawsuit against the trio for its upcoming Venu streaming service, Puck’s Eriq Gardner sat in on an evidentiary hearing overseen by NY District Judge Margaret Garnett:

    From the several days of testimony I witnessed — packed with executives, consultants, and economists — it feels like a preliminary injunction might just be on the table... Garnett seems genuinely concerned by the extraordinary influence that could be wielded by an alliance of the sector’s behemoths.

    X ordered to pay former Irish exec €550,000 for unfair dismissal.

    Ireland’s Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) handed down the ~$600,000 fine in favor of Gary Rooney, who was fired from Twitter in 2022 after failing to click “yes” in an email asking employees to accept Elon Musk’s “extremely hardcore” work culture or leave.

    As reported by RTE, the WRC found Rooney’s choice to not click “yes” was “not capable of constituting an act of resignation.”
