Technology and Anti-Trust

[Recorded: June 30, 2009]

In this video Gary Reback, author of the new book Free the Market! discusses with Michael Arrington of TechCrunch how the Obama Administration's antitrust enforcement policies will affect Silicon Valley's economy.

Reback and Arrington examine President Obama's commitment to innovation along with his promise of renewed antitrust enforcement and make predictions about how the new administration will answer important questions:
- Should antitrust enforcers stop worrying about Microsoft?
- When will the Justice Department sue Google?
- Is industry consolidation good for the Valley? Is it legal?
- Will the government challenge the assertions of patents by giant patent pools?
- What does antitrust say about companies that are too big to fail?

Drawing on vivid, behind-the-scenes accounts of leading high tech lawsuits involving top companies like Apple, Microsoft, IBM, Oracle and AT&T Rebacks new book paints a tableau of government policy gone awry. You can read his account as eyewitness history, a memoir of legal warfare, wrote Scott Herhold in the San Jose Mercury News. Free the Market! is a white paper meant to influence a new government in Washington D.C.

I really hope the whole world will open its eyes and see that the change that google wants to make will change the entire society so that everyone will have everything for free and will work and study and get to maintain this new free world. This is the real definitions of communism. The new way communist should work. But we will call it something else. FREEISM
