Do you think you have to buy your competition a billboard for 'equal access'? Must your salespeople refer customers to competitors if they have a better deal? Where is the violence if you offer bulk discounts to package your product with another? What is the harm if you add a widget to your gizmo that shrinks the widget market? Maybe the aftermarket car-radio makers should sue the automakers for adding radios to cars --after all, it trashed their market, and is clearly not a transportation related feature. A free market means one with no guns ---it does not mean anything else, especially this kind of welfare-mentality 'fairness', or any royal pronouncement about what's 'best' for the herd. And don't think that the DoJ agreeing with you proves *anything*.
