Alphа, Inc. аnd Betа Cоrp. are cоmpetitоrs in a growing Web 3.0 space called "Interactainment" where you can subscribe to "interactive" content such as sports games, movies, TV shows and "become" the players or characters in that content and view/experience things from their perspective. Thus, this a relatively new industry that can be partially analogized to both the video game industry and the streaming content industry, but is a unique beast in a category all its own in many respects. Both companies also charge around the same amount for their subscriptions – Alpha $20/month, and Beta $25/month. Other competitors like Cutco and Dollimer charge $18 and $16 respectively but offer much less content as compared to Alpha and Beta. Beta is able to charge slightly more because they argue they have access to a larger array of content. The way Beta is able to accomplish this is via a unique "WideNet" broader license that negotiates the use of copyrighted material (sports game broadcasts, movies, TV shows, etc.) across the board at fixed prices for a variety of different content creation companies. Alpha gets wind of this WideNet licensing practice and believes that it amounts to price-fixing which gives Beta the unfair advantage of being able to charge more for their subscription services. Beta's counterargument is that they are simply following a widespread practice engaged in by many content streaming companies, and are just adapting this approach to this new field of "interactive" content made possible by Interactainment. Later on, Alpha and Beta reach a truce, and because they both realize that together they control more than 50% of this "interactive" content field, they begin to negotiate ways in which they can work together and possibly pool resources or knowledge to mutually benefit. Several months later, after a newly formed annual conference called "InteractiCon" in Seattle, a press release comes out describing that both companies are offering new content (different interactive shows on their two different platforms) and have raised their prices to both $35/month. Rumor has it that various aspects of the WideNet broad licensing practice employed by Beta were shared with Alpha as well during InteractiCon. Testimony from industry experts established that applying the WideNet licensing practice makes it cheaper to dole out interactive content, not more expensive however. Other witnesses have also testified that various high-ranking employees from Alpha and Beta were seen at various local izakayas at the same time. However, conflicting testimony establishes that those employees just happened to be at those izakayas at the same time (along with other high-ranking executives from other companies like Cutco and Dollimer) because there are really only 2-3 top ranking restaurants in town (maybe another antitrust problem for another day but ignore this issue for this hypothetical). Several years later, Alpha spins off a subsidiary known as Accelwear that specializes in the hardware necessary to fully experience an immersive "Interactainment session". Beta starts a similar division called Bettermax that also makes similar hardware. However, behind the scenes, Alpha has an arrangement with Accelwear where they are able to control pricing on hard-to-find hardware components to very specific detail levels. Beta alleges that this is an unfair restraint of trade, but Alpha counters in stating that this price control actually favors Beta because it allows Bettermax to purchase these hardware components at a lower price, a great benefit because they are very expensive and made from diamonds and other rare materials. Question 1 (20 points): Assume you are representing the DOJ/FTC: what is your best argument for any antitrust violations committed by Alpha and Beta?
