Copyrights and patents

That’s not a government enforced monopoly. A government enforced monopoly means nobody else is allowed in the market. Like utility companies.

Lots of Utilities are consumer cooperatives which is funnily enough Socialist, but the people working there wouldn’t like to hear that.

Nobody else is allowed to sell these phones without licenses

Maggoty@lemmy.world · 1 年前

But they can sell phones.

explodicle@sh.itjust.works · 1 年前

That’s called “monopolistic competition”. They can’t sell the same phone they were already making.

Maggoty@lemmy.world · 1 年前

Yes. I’m not saying it’s not monopolistic behavior. I’m saying it’s not a government sanctioned monopoly.

Perhaps I should sell some without a license.

Maggoty@lemmy.world · 1 年前

Okay? The company will be the one to enforce their license.

explodicle@sh.itjust.works · 1 年前

I didn’t agree to their license.
