Mergers and Turtles: UT Mashup, 2015, Part II

Join Stewart as he talks to two of his colleagues from the University of Tennessee about two surprisingly constitutional areas of the law: copyright and antitrust.

First, Gary Pulsinelli tells us about the '60's band "The Turtles" and its long-running battle over control of its songs, a battle that may have consequences that go far beyond whether you agree that, gee, Eleanor is swell.

Then Brian Krumm tells us how both federal antitrust law and state regulatory law may figure prominently in the proposed merger of two healthcare giants in Northeast Tennessee, the Wellmont Health System and the Mountain States Health Alliance. Such mergers are being proposed all over the United States, so this is much more than just a local issue.
