This brings up the question of what happens if the ticket prices are too high and people can't afford to go to the game? Is blacking out games legal?

It's 12:30 am in the left cost, I got to get some zzz's. Peace.

the riaa just settled a massive price fixing lawsuit, and guess what the prosecution got? 2000 crappy CDs that didn't sell at retail donated to charity and $2 checks. Price fixing suits usually aren't big payouts.

blacking out games is legal if its in the terms of the contract, you're not forced or required to watch the games. If the ticket prices are too high, don't pay. its a perfectly viable option and it won't put your physical well being in jeopardy.

I bet the plaintiff's lawyer's are shopping for new Gulfstreams though.

The RIAA suite was made into a class action suit by the lawyers for the lawyers. This is the preferred type of suit you want to be involved in if you're money loving law firm. The way these suites gets started typically involves a law firm scrounging up a dozen or so people and then soliciting for more people to join the suit. A price fixing suite brought on by a government entity (state or federal) is damaging monetarily and could cost executives their freedom.
