The creation of such laws is only a matter of (perhaps very long) time. You think this is an "arbitrary" viewpoint? Fine, give me your best argument why what John Deere is doing is "good".
No, I think that John Deere is in violation of antitrust law. Apple, too. And I'm hoping that judges agree with me. And if not, I would hope that Congress could pass laws that Apple and Deere would be made to follow -- would and could, because I have little faith in the legislative branch at this time.
Punishing because it feels right is what I take issue with. Punishing on the basis of a violated law is, at least, above-board.
I thought about it. Maybe it's a cultural difference. Maybe you're right, at least when it comes to right now and American society. Sorry if my comments seem crude or inconsiderate.
