In large cities talent agencies typically charge clients no more than a 10% commission. Tina's Talent, Amy's Actors & Models and the Barton Agency are the only three talent agents in a small city. Due to the limited amount of work available for actors

and models in their city, the three talent agents have gotten together and agreed to never charge a commission below 15%. Discuss if this is acceptable under the Sherman Act.


This is an example of horizontal price-fixing and violates Section 1 of the Sherman Act. Price is a sensitive element of competition and even discussion among competitors has been deemed an attempt to monopolize.
