Can you link to specific examples of companies being found guilty of things like price fixing and wage fixing, where the company was not a monopoly, or part of an oligopoly?
- brianpgordon 11y agoWell there's this case, which got a lot of HN coverage: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/01/16/silicon_valley_415m_wage_fix_pacts_settlement/ http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/01/16/silicon_valley_415m_...
- moskie 11y agoLooks you're correct, thanks. Reading up on this a bit, I was wondering if Apple/Google/Intel/Adobe/etc constituted an oligopoly, but I don't see how that could true in this case. Also reading up on the Sherman Antitrust Act (which is what they were in violation of), the section that applied here does not require a monopoly or oligopoly. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherman_Antitrust_Act#Elements http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherman_Antitrust_Act#Elements
