the problem with arguments like this is they tend to ignore one major fact:
you, as an individual, ARE CHOOSING to participate in the market.
no one is forcing you to buy a tv, and when you do buy one, no one is telling you where you have to buy it from. i would like to buy brand X of a tv from best buy, but they only carry brands Y and Z. should the government step in and tell brand X and best buy, that they must sell brand X to me because im able to get brand X at WalMart?
no one is forcing you to buy a car. your decision to buy a car, means you will have to invest in it to continue to use it. that means buying gas, and again, you have a choice on where to buy gas. do i have the "right" to complain that i can't get Chevron gas at a BP?! if you had your way, it sounds like i should. i think chevron gas is better, but i like the hot dogs at BP better, so i would rather shop there. before you say, but Ford cant tell me i have to use BP gas. do they, no. can they require it? believe or not, yes. if when you bought the car from Ford you signed a contract, and made an agreement, that for X number of years, or for the life of the car, or for the duration of the warranty, or for the duration of the Ford financing, that you would use only BP gas, then by contract (enforceable by law) you would have to do that. and going back to that warranty point for a moment. when you buy a car, it comes with a manufacturers warranty (sometimes you even buy an additional or extended) and in the terms of that warranty it defines how you must use the car, and take care of the car, in order for the warranty to cover any problems with the car. racing, is a good example. most warranties come right out and say that if they determine that you used the vehicle for extreme duty situations like that, the warranty is void. but wait, i paid for the warranty!!! and isnt it my car!!!! dont i have the RIGHT to take that car racing?!?! answers: YES, YES, and YES. but Ford also has the right to say you violated the contract, so they wont fix the transmission.
buying a computer, again is a choice. using that computer on the internet, again is a choice. buying the computer is one market. getting on the internet is another. the two markets are independent of one another. believe it or not, i can actually make a choice to participate in the Internet market, and also choose NOT to participate in the Computer market. i can choose to go to the public library, and browse the internet for free. or go to a friends house and use his. or go to my school and use a computer lab.
to carry that out further. those are all choices and options i have to participate in the internet market, but they all come with a "price", i must agree to specific terms of use when i do it. to use the library or school, i may have to agree to a time limit, or even a restriction on the sites i can go to (ie NO PORN). or to use my friends, i must agree to only be there during times of the day that are convenient to him and may not be that convenient to me.
like my previous posts have said, at least in the US, you do NOT have the Right to a product or even a Right to participate in a Market. i will not rehash that here, if it matters to you, go back to page 18 or 19 on this forum and read my post discussing it.
ive tried to stay away from too many analogies, but i am reminded of one.
if i were to walk up to you on the street and tackle you face first into the pavement, i would have violated your Rights. my Rights end where yours begin. however, if you and i were on a football field during a game and i did the same thing, there would be nothing wrong with that. why is that?! because you and i agreed to participate in the game and to the terms (rules) of engagement. if these rules are not pleasant to you, then get off the field of play and out of the game.
choosing to own a cell phone and having cellular service, and participating in that market, means agreeing to certain rules. those rules are presented to you in the form of a contract, and terms of service, when you buy your phone or activate service. if you do not like those terms, dont agree to them. i dont like the way a lot of carriers run their businesses any more than the rest of you, but i still recognize that they are within their "right" to do so.
