Been away a bit (nixos2 drama, more about that soon), but the Paramount-Warner Bros. saga kept moving without me: EU cleared it with conditions, then Paramount agreed to freeze the whole deal until a trial happens — maybe not until June 2027. Both sides are calling it a win. Let's see why.

The DOJ cleared Paramount-WBD with zero conditions in June. Turns out career staff wanted to sue and got overruled before they could say so. Now 12 states just sued anyway — and Oregon wants to know if Paramount helped write the DOJ's own clearance letter.
