No one is saying these broadcast groups don't have 1st amendment rights, just that they were going about it in an anti-competitive way.
- fyoving 7y agoThat's a price fixing/cartel case not a first amendment one.
- reallydude 7y agoIsn't that the point? What you prosecute is not related the first amendment, despite the actions being protected by it.
- bduerst 7y agoThis case is clearly price fixing, not first amendment. The radio stations weren't broadcasting their prices to consumers, but secretly communicating with competitors to form a cartel, which is forbidden. Doesn't matter if they were radio stations or grocery stores.
- tantalor 7y agoThe fact that the companies in that suit were radio stations seems irrelevant to the facts of the case; they could have been hamburger restaurants and the legal question would not change.
