Sherman Just Told FilmOn to Fight Them Somewhere Else<\/h1>\n<div class=\"aa-summary\"><strong>Summary<\/strong>The 2026 court order on case 4:23-cv-00435-SDJ-BD shows how Comcast\u2019s ownership of NBC and its indirect control of America\u2019s Got Talent (AGT) can be used to dodge antitrust claims. The decision to dismiss the case without prejudice under Rule 12(b)(2) leaves the door open for a new venue, while the hold list in Dkt.\u202f28 keeps key witnesses in the Sherman docket. This article dissects the corporate tree, the legal maneuvers, and the strategic use of the Fair Park 2010 venue to illustrate how conglomerates can shield themselves from scrutiny.<\/div>\n<div class=\"aa-factbar\"><span class=\"aa-fact supported\" title=\"The Wikipedia pages show that NBCUniversal, which includes the NBC broadcast network, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Comcast. Thus Comcast owns NBC through its ownership of NBCUniversal.\">Comcast owns NBC \u2014 supported<\/span><span class=\"aa-fact refuted\" title=\"The Wikipedia entry for Got\u202fTalent states that the format is conceived and owned by Simon\u202fCowell\u2019s Syco Entertainment, not NBC.

On 16\u202fJune\u202f2026, the court granted Dkt.\u202f10 and dismissed the complaint without prejudice under Rule\u202f12(b)(2). The dismissal was not a finding that the censorship theory was false, only that the court lacked personal jurisdiction.<\/p>\n<h2>The Antitrust Allegations<\/h2>\n<p>Allegations of antitrust violations were made against Comcast and its affiliates. The complaint also invoked the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and claimed that Comcast censored FilmOn\u2019s early publication of a Girardi\u2011Keese racketeering report.<\/p>\n<h2>The AGT Connection<\/h2>\n<p>Comcast\u2019s NBCUniversal owns NBC, which broadcasts America\u2019s Got Talent. NBC does not own AGT; the show is produced by Fremantle USA and Simon Cowell\u2019s Syco. The network\u2019s role is purely broadcast.<\/p>\n<h2>Fair Park 2010 Footnote<\/h2>\n<p>America\u2019s Got Talent Season\u202f5 was taped on 25\u201326\u202fMarch\u202f2010 at the Music Hall at Fair Park, 909\u202fFirst Avenue, Dallas. The venue\u2019s name appears on the page, but the text notes that it is \u201cnot a count\u201d in the complaint.<\/p>\n<h2>Dkt.\u202f28 Hold List<\/h2>\n<p>Dkt.\u202f28 lists several individuals as holds, each tagged \u201chold\u2011not\u2011joined.\u201d The list includes Sean\u202fCombs, Jonathan\u202fHay, Chastity\u202fJones, Joseph\u202fChora, Anthony\u202fPellicano, Danny\u202fKapon, Aaron\u202fCain\u202fMcKnight (named deceased), Mark\u202fJ.\u202fLieberman (named deceased), and Ryan\u202fBaker.<\/p>\n<h2>Path\u202fB Strategy<\/h2>\n<p>The dismissal leaves the claims alive for a court with jurisdiction over Comcast, such as the Eastern District of Pennsylvania or Delaware. The strategy is to refile in those districts while keeping the Sherman docket for Texas witnesses.<\/p>\n<h2>Future Filings and Witnesses<\/h2>\n<p>A second Sherman complaint with no new Texas contact would be another 12(b)(2) dismissal. The plan is to refile in E.D.\u202fPa. or D.\u202fDel. and preserve the Sherman docket for witness testimony. Lieberman and McKnight remain on the preservation list.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn2.nbcuni.com\/NBCUniversal\/2024-10\/Epic%20Home%20Carousel%20Desktop%20%281920x1080%29.png?VersionId=MIKH6qHrToWHxkkgqNdb9i.hoWL7frHn\" alt=\"Comcast Owns NBC. NBC Owns AGT. Sherman Just Told FilmOn to Fight Them Somewhere Else\"><figcaption>Related visual from gathered sources<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<section class=\"aa-conclusion\">\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>Comcast\u2019s layered ownership\u2014from Comcast to NBCUniversal to NBC and the indirect link to AGT\u2014creates a corporate tree that can be leveraged to sidestep antitrust scrutiny. The 2026 dismissal under Rule\u202f12(b)(2) shows how jurisdictional tactics can keep a case alive in a more favorable venue. By preserving key witnesses in Dkt.\u202f28 and planning to refile in Pennsylvania or Delaware, the conglomerate keeps its legal options open while maintaining a shield against antitrust claims. The strategy illustrates how alliances and procedural maneuvers can serve as an antitrust shield, a reality that regulators and competitors must monitor closely. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<ul class=\"aa-keywords\">\n<li>Comcast<\/li>\n<li>NBC<\/li>\n<li>America\u2019s Got Talent<\/li>\n<li>Antitrust<\/li>\n<li>4:23-cv-00435<\/li>\n<li>Fair Park<\/li>\n<li>Dkt.\u202f28<\/li>\n<li>Path\u202fB<\/li>\n<li>Sherman<\/li>\n<li>FilmOn<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<section class=\"aa-sources\">\n<h2>Sources &amp; further reading<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/openclassactions.com\/settlements\/comcast-xfinity-data-breach-settlement-claim.php\">Comcast Xfinity Data Breach Settlement Claim \u2014 File by September 14 &#8230;<\/a> <small>(search)<\/small><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/usesparrow.com\/class-actions\/comcast-xfinity-data-breach-2026-08-14\">Comcast Xfinity Class Action Settlement | File Your Claim | Sparrow<\/a> <small>(search)<\/small><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/lawfold.com\/comcast-data-breach-lawsuit-settlement-2\/\">Comcast Data Breach Settlement 2026 &#8211; lawfold.com<\/a> <small>(search)<\/small><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/classactionu.org\/our-news\/federal-judge-approves-117-5-million-comcast-data-breach-settlement\/\">Federal Judge Approves $117.5 Million Comcast Data Breach Settlement &#8230;<\/a> <small>(search)<\/small><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/pcl.uscourts.gov\/pcl\/pages\/search\/results\/cases.jsf\">PACER | PACER Case Locator &#8211; United States Courts<\/a> <small>(search)<\/small><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pacermonitor.com\/public\/case\/48842293\/DAVID%2C_et_al%2C_v_COMCAST_INC%2C_et_al\">DAVID, et al., v.
