If this is the same case I remember, GM was taken to court by a conglomerate of after market radio manufacturers because they changed the electrical connectors it used for the radio to a non-standard connector that could only be purchased from GM. The ruling was that GM was using its control of the design and manufacture of the cars in a monopolistic way. Bill On Fri, Dec 19, 2003 at 08:53:07PM -0500, William Park wrote:

RealNetwork is like after-market car radio company that is suing GM because GM has the arrogance to put radio in all GM cars, thereby shutting out after-market radio companies.
Actually, that matter did go to court and the auto makers lost.
What do you mean they lost? You mean GM can't sell red cars, because that will shutout after-market companies selling red paints?
