GorunNova Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 It's because there IS more than one media company, and so it isn't legally a monopoly. Monopoly laws really don't work that well when all the 'competitors' decide to back each other for mutual profit. There are legally enough different entities for 'competition', but the big problem is that instead of competing, they collaborate for mutual profit. They all sell different things, so it can't be said any one of them dominates, and legally it isn't limiting choice (none of them overlap in anything but medium... content is different between them), so monopoly laws are useless... one could -technically- choose to only buy from one of them and deprive the rest of business, so 'competition' is still technically there...-_-' The problem is they all do the same sort of things and charge the same prices, so people on average buy from all of them equally.

bbbb Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 All this is the David vs Goliath. We must all unite and fight Goliath. In this way we can make internet downloads legal. Or just vote in someone who will do the work for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbbb Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 The authorities will do this to people who are easy to punish. Those who are real criminals are hard to catch because it means that the police will actually have to work for once. Military people work even less than McDonald's workers on a quiet night.

philly Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 Corporations aka "Ferangis"...lol, but yea this is just a complete publicity stunt to show people that they will prosecute for "pirated" movies/music/games etc. But they keep going at it the wrong way, and this is a definate example. Come on shes 14!!! What are they going to do sapina her piggy bank??? As for corporations, there nuttin but money grabbin, tax exempt, sesspools that exist in our modern day lives.
