Which, of course, was not what I wrote that you quoted.

UR, right but I think I called his colours right anyway, judging by his tone. His answer most likely is it can't work either, where as I think it can work, and it IS working in many areas. Maybe this isn't one of them though.

If you make a statement that free market's idea is to hog all the small ones and throw them in trash bin so that the big players don't have to worry and they can use their monopoly status to benefit them even more... well that's wrong. That's not the idea. And that's not how it necessarily goes, and that's not how it goes every time. Sometimes it goes that way because there are folks being unethical, and even illegal.

Interesting. So trying to avoid competition is unethical. That pretty much sums up Corporate America even though I would say they are unethical besides that.

[Pekka]

No. It depends what measures are taken to avoid competition. if those measures can be seen as unethical, then that act is unethical. And many times unethical means borderline illegal, but you can get away with it.

Which steps are unethical an which are ethical? And how can they be different if the results are the same?

edit: sorry about all the errors. I just woke up.

You are asking questions that I have no will to put effort in answering. YOu can read up business ethics or such, I'm sure they list all kinds of things. Just because you have difficulties of understanding how competition works and how the rules go, as far as how it's supposed to work since there are always those who don't follow the rules, well basically it's your problem. Go read.

Excuse me, but I'm a business major. We do a unit on ethics on every freaking class I take. I know what is considered ethical. I'm just wondering what you consider ethical. If you can't say then I am suspicious.

Business major and a commie?

Anyway, no I'm not interested in talking about that. I didn't come here to defend capitalism. I came here to talk about gaming and patenting concepts.

We are talking about patenting. That's one way that corporations get monopoly power. Corporations spend lots of money on legal departments for this purpose. Are you saying that's unethical? What about all the other things they do to avoid competition? What's the difference?

[Pekka]

Do you have difficulties understanding that I have no desire to debate about avoiding competition in capitalist system. I guess you do. Go find yourself another victim you can bore to death.
