Re: Fossilman\'s Account Hacked?
Antitrust law is non-objective law based on a socialist myth that free, unregulated markets lead to coercive monopolies. Private companies have no power to coerce; only the government has the power to coerce and should only be used to protect individual rights. With respect to the market place government’s role should only be to settle disputes, enforce contracts and prosecute fraud. The only coercive monopolies are government run such as Slamtrack, public schools, etc. People are forced to pay for these entities.
Antitrust laws have been used to terrorize businessmen for over a century. You can be prosecuted for setting prices too low, too high or for fixing prices with competitors. Anything a company does can be deemed illegal with these laws. Companies have been prosecuted for all the above reasons; initiated by some bureaucrat or jealous competitor.
This infamous group of seven poker players should be ashamed of themselves. Trying to use the heavy hand of government by forcibly attempting to change the way the WPT does business is wrong.
