The reason most companies don’t want an ungregulated marketplace is because most companies fail at making new, better and innovative products and instead need to hide behind lawmakers to make the world “fair” for them.
Many of you on this board are small time writers with a few published works. Now the big names like Grisham and King sell more copies and make millions with what most (and in my opionion as well) are inferior products, however they can place these all over the market place and in many cases write the same books (with some minor changes) that were wri9tten by other smaller writers. However we would be outraged of the govt tried to regulate the ammount of books to be sold or the content of these books (short of complete plagerism and copywrite infringement).
Many of you might say “but that’s completely different” but it isn’t. How is a computer program different than a work of art? How is a car different than a novel. In the realm of design, creation and market value, the concept is the same, how can we tell one person what they sell or how they sell it? it violates the concept of a free market.
To deal with men by force is as impractical as to deal with nature by persuasion.
