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?

It means they couldn't force a customer to take a radio they didn't want. The result was that if you planned to get an aftermarket radio, you didn't have to pay for one "bundled" with the car. -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.
