You wouldn't be refering to Barns & Noble, by chance? Their actions
do seem anti free market, to me.
What seems odd to me is the contrast of B&N's actions and the
$500,000,000.00 Murdoch had to pay to settle litagation claiming
that he was too aggressive in providing coupons to customers -
making that an unfair trading practice. Yet B&N seems to be
sabotaging the market place with it's actions, and I haven't heard
of any lawsuit headed their way.
