no

if there were no rules, there would have been no Compaq, Dell and co

Yes the rules being force and market separated until someones rights are violated

*are

Yes and now you need a market that's protected by Patents and needs billions of dollars to enter.

And the primary source can just bribe the manufacturers to not use other stuff than theirs....

So in short: you need the Rules and to enforce it, so that such things do not happen.

Wow, I'm in agreement with Stefan for the third time today and it's not even lunchtime. The end times are most certainly upon us. 🙀

Yeah, one of those Examples would be Microsoft ^^

And Google (Android)

So free market means that everyone plays to the same rules and doesn't abuse or misuse the power given by the market.

Now, after M$ left the Mobile Phone OS Market, Google was forced in the EU to charge money for Android.
M$ always charged for mobile Windows.

Who enforces the rules?

Im back

These arguments dont have any basis to them

It rests on it requires a lot of money to get in without defining why it takes that much

Saying that it happens without government

@Stefan Payne

So google Monopoly happened with Gouvernment? How so?

and Microsoft?

They still have competitors

Same with Microsoft

Where's OS/2 then? Or BeOS?

Also they have both used law suits to their advantage

As for patents it should be based on Great Britain’s Copyright Act of 1911

@Stefan Payne

Lets just say they didnt use government like I said competitors exist and its the value we put on them

These monopolies cant be maintained without force unless they offer enough to maintain it though

Also to violate their rights is a contradiction if you ever claim to defend peoples property rights

Government also does this as I said before

This also doesnt equate to billions to enter

Yes, the force they can use because there are no rules that nobody enforces.

No in a free market they couldnt

Aslong as no ones rights are violated

Yes, they could because there ain't no rules and nobody keeps them from not bribing other people to not use the Competition's stuff.

that's how M$ got their Monopoly

You really should read up on the history of IT Companys and what happened.

A man of integrity wouldnt be bribed

But this still is avoiding some of my other claims

Especially the biggest ones -> Intel and Microsoft.

you clrearly have not done that.
