My gut feeling is that the largest player in any market should control less than five percent of it. So, more than twenty?


So now we want to pass a regulation that any company that has a market of more than 5% should be broken up? Then how do you define a market? It amazes me how many people trust the government and want more government power.


Existing antitrust law.

It amazes me how many people trust corporations and want more corporate power.


And what do they have “power” over? Movie creation? Movie distribution? What part of the antitrust law are the five movie studios breaking?

What “power” do they have?

The difference between corporate power and government power is that a corporation can’t forcible take your money, property and liberty. I can choose whether to give my money to a corporation. I can’t choose whether to give my money to the government.

A corporation has a lot less “power” than the government. If a corporation makes a decision I don’t like, I don’t give them my money. I don’t have that choice with the government.
