Thanks for the education CobaltB. But my dictionary says a trust of the kind to which 'anti-trust' refers was an association of companies organized for defeating competition, obliging the shareholders in each to transfer their stock to a central committee and to surrender voting rights while retaining rights to profit shares. That sounds how it would have been to me. In regard to monopolies, merchants will always charge what the market will bear. It seems silly to talk about 'hurting' consumers. Any charge is a 'hurt'. Any company has a monopoly over their product and very few products are completely fungible. Hence, your definition 1 = <...abuse of free commerce by which one or more individuals have procured the advantage of selling alone all of a particular kind of merchandise, to the detriment of the public.> applies to all products. No two products or points of sale are identical. So it's a matter of defining closely enough the business one is interested in proving to be a monopoly, then all can be declared to be monopolies. While it might seem mean of MSFT to refuse to let somebody use their software unless all computers sold by that person paid the fee, whether they included the software or not, that's up to the dealer to accept or reject the software offer. It would help stop software stealing! The dealer could reject the software altogether if they choose. Maybe it would mean they'd need to go into another line of business or sell a competing software/computer package. I think each should be allowed to make that choice. Okay, I give up - I need to keep my time here in perspective... Mqurice

In isolation I doubt insider trading is a big issue, but when it becomes pervasive the message takes on more meaning. Avanex 144s keep pouring in.
