[link to cnet] Anyone who wants to enjoy a few minutes in Atlantis should tune into cNet Radio. It features 18 minutes of excerpts (under the title "Microsoft: Prosecuted or Persecuted?") from audio clips of callers in support of Microsoft and the Committee for the Moral Defense of Microsoft. Only three callers declared that they support ProComp, the anti-MS, pro- antitrust organization. The rest made articulate principled arguments in favor of freedom, individual rights, and the right of the achievers to be rewarded for their accomplish- ments. This is what every radio call-in ought to sound like. It's truly an amazing experience, and I want to offer my profound gratitude to everyone who called in with their well- thought-out comments.

For instance, if he charges prices which some bureaucrats judge as too high, he can be prosecuted for intent to monopolize; if he charges prices lower than those of his competitors, he can be prosecuted for "unfair competition" or "restraint of trade"; and if he charges the same prices as his competitors, he can be prosecuted for "collusion" or "conspiracy." There is only one difference in the legal treatment accorded to a criminal or to a businessman; the criminal's rights are protected much more securely and objectively than the businessman's." -- Published in Ayn Rand's Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal Antitrust:The Rule of Unreason by Ayn Rand Published in Ayn Rand's The Voice of Reason Antitrust by Alan Greenspan Published in Ayn Rand's Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal Notes On The History of American Free Enterprise by Ayn Rand Published in Ayn Rand's Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal © 1997,1998 CMDM.
