It’s already prohibited for them to own the movie theaters! And for good reason! It’s just that the US politicians have been too busy enacting fascism to update the law for streaming and TV.

Interesting - I did not know that! But that does confuse me a bit since Sony Pictures acquired the Alamo Drafthouse theater chain back in 2024
