On 25 January 2010, the US Department of Justice (DOJ) announced that it will require Ticketmaster Entertainment Inc. (Ticketmaster) to license its ticketing software and divest ticketing assets to two different buyers, as well as agree to anti-retaliation provisions as a condition to approving Ticketmaster's acquisition of Live Nation Inc. (Live Nation). The announcement came on the same day the DOJ filed a complaint challenging the proposed acquisition in Federal Court. The DOJ also filed a proposed consent decree, which if approved by the Court would resolve its competitive concerns.
