    "title": "Out at Home: Why the Major League Baseball Advanced Media Agreement May Violate Antitrust Law",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Major League Baseball Advanced Media (MLBAM or BAM) has\n \ncreated one of the most successful technology platforms for broadcasting\n \nprofessional baseball games online. BAM is extremely profitable,\n \nbut its exclusive online broadcast of professional baseball games\n \nthrough MLB.tv may violate antitrust law. Conventional wisdom may\n \nsuggest MLBAM would be exempt from antitrust law under the judicially\n \ncreated baseball exemption, but the online broadcast of professional\n \nbaseball games likely does not fall under the baseball exemption.\n \nTherefore, an antitrust suit could be brought against BAM for its\n \nonline broadcasts. In an antitrust suit, BAM would not be considered a\n \nsingle entity because of its similarities to NFL Properties in American\n \nNeedle. BAM's MLB. tv product significantly restrains trade in a relevant\n \nmarket. BAM, however, will likely prevail in arguing that maintaining\n \ncompetitive balance amongst its teams is a procompetitive justification.\n \nLess restrictive alternatives exist, however, that may yet put\n \nBAM in violation of antitrust law.",
