Korn, no, you made an accusation... let's be clear about that and you made a loud noise about anti-trust... all that is rather serious and what you've come up with is hearsay to back it.

you might recall the bohemia experience was the equivalent of a bunch of "boys" (in support of FT) bursting in through the, door, smashing glass, turning over tables and slapping the women. It was when it was learned that FT had not approached those developers in any manner, that the situation sort of quietened down. Bohemia forum went through a horrible time until then.

Perhaps you could check was to whether DCS made their own interface for other trackers to use or used NP's SDK to create it. If they used the SDK, then NP was (I assume) well within their rights to insist anything created from it not be used.

Again:
FT is Free
TIR is a company.

In fact there is only one company serving this market - ergo no competition.
If there is only one company they are free to cut a deal - I see no option to apply an antitrust law.

Does it suck for the consumer? Sure I don't like TIR either, however it's not illegal.

rofl you're funny. Hearsay? So you pretend you're worried about the monopoly bussiness, and when i provide you enough information to go and check for yourself you dare accusing me of hearsay? Did you actually read what i posted? Man what a crappy job you got to do . PR for Natural Point posing as regular user... I actually feel sorry for you. Yeah i know, you're just a guy, just another guy concerned that Free Track is stealing NP bussiness and violates its (nonexistent) patents, like any honest citizen. Man you crack me up . Feel free to talk to your peers from now on, i'm sure there's more than one of you, or at least more than one user , i think i got all the laugh you can give.


swiss, you are mistaken, antitrust laws are concerned not only with actually protecting fair competition between companies, but also (maybe even primary) with protecting the consumers. Please search the web for further info, as well as consulting any specialized professional (lawyer or economist)... This is very basic stuff.


Before i leave this thread for good, as i'm sure any unbiased individual has already enough data to form his/her own opinion, i want to apologize for any mistake i made, english is not my native language.

Good day, gentlemen.

I think you may need to wake up to yourself a bit there Korn, or read the thread through, at least.
You made an accusation, couldn't back it up adequately and were asked a question, obviously one you have no answer to or no details about, so you get in a huff and make threats to leave.... well, that's your choice.

Also Korn, you might consider Facetracking, negates your whole premise of antitrust

This thread has gone from interesting to just plain hilarious.

Those arguing in favor of Free Track sound exactly like the folks that argue most vociferously in favor of pirating any software title they wish as it is their "right" because the interweb is "free" and we need to stike a blow for "freedom of expression" against the evil capitalists.



Grow up kids.


Really.

I realize we have a language barrier here, but I did say they sound like, not that they are. Their arguments take the same form and structure.

It is even more reinforced by the fact that someone put up a website/blog/whatever it is, that tracks one person's posts on various sites about the "controversy".

What next? Get Wiki Leaks involved?

Why are people so against seeing a company be successful? Don't we all want to be secure in our finances, and make money on our hard work? I know I do.

I don't understand this bruhaha at all.
