Earlier this summer, the DOJ announced it was starting a review of the age-old antitrust decrees, asking for comments from the interested parties—which includes both music users like Custom Channels and music-makers like songwriters and composers—with the intent to determine whether the consent decrees should be continued, modified, replaced, or scrapped altogether.
