[Page] 35 [My Comments] And these corporations are in their right to do it. The purpose of modern antitrust laws is to destroy the successful for being successful and to support the impotent for being impotent. There is nothing wrong with monopolies if their monopolistic status is based on their ability to offer a product that everybody wants to buy. There is everything wrong with monopolies whose monopolistic status is based on the use of violence or on government restricting competition through licensing, certification and so on. Copyright is as natural a monopoly as it gets. Having a monopoly over a certain book does not create a monopoly over books as a class. Just because an author refuses to provide his book to the public on conditions he disagrees with does not deprive the public of the right to read other books. No one is entitled to something that would not have existed but for another person’s efforts. [Quote from Patry’s book] 
These corporations continually press for more draconian copyright laws (e.g., cutting off Internet access, harsh criminal penalties) while arguing for more relaxed antitrust laws. They bring lawsuits against consumer electronics companies and against online platforms offering authors and performers a way around gatekeeper obstacles.
