How could that possibly be against the law?
I lost some buyers because they communicated with the listing agent on facebook about the house they wanted to buy and did buy. The listing agent told them if they bought the house from her she could give them a deal because she would have both sides and could give the seller a discount so she... View More

To the contrary, it would likely be an anti-trust violation if you somehow prevented those buyers from participating freely in the real estate market or prohibiting them from contacting certain agents. There is a grave difference between an anti-trust violation and an unfair advantage. It does not... View More
She claims she hasn't changed her address, so how are the kids enrolled in a school, that she won't tell me where or what the names of schools are. We also had an open case with child services, and claims when she told them she left, they just closed the case. Does this sound legal&... View More

You can file for divorce where you live. Once she is served you can ask the court to order her to return the kids to where you live. The longer she is away and establishing the children in a new city, the more difficult it will be for you.
The sign shop owner is a of a do-it-yourself sign studio. Nothing proprietary or really unique was "taught" in the class. We applied stain to wood with a brush, then dabbed paint on to make lettering, just like what it seen in literally hundreds of videos online. Their terms and... View More

Short answer, I don't think so, but it doesn't mean that the sign shop owner cannot try. Typically agreements like you describe are apart of an employment agreement and are referred to as a non compete agreement.
I suggest that a consult with an attorney in your area may be... View More

I keep trying to sell a Klipsch headset on eBay. I took the pictures of the product myself, but I keep getting my listing removed, because Klipsch is claiming copyright infringement over my images. They are my own pictures I took myself, and I feel I'm being harassed by Klipsch. Klipsch is... View More

Try the Electronic Frontier Foundation. They sometimes take cases involving DMCA harassment pro bono.

Absolutely yes. Fixing the price of goods or services purchased by buyers is just as per se unlawful as price fixing among sellers.

An antitrust issue might be present if there is an effect on competition. Sometimes, your cost of doing business justifies a price difference. A distributor who buys 100,000 units normally gets a lower price than a distributor who buys 10,000 units.

One hallmark of a monopoly is the absence of competition in the relevant market. The relevant market could be a county in some contexts or it could be the whole country in other contexts.

The large corporation will take away service and supplies without this agreement which will put me out of business.

It's not possible to give a solid antitrust view of this issue with the facts you supplied. Generally. a firm can act to harm competitors, by any means, if it acts alone -- unless it has monopoly power in the relevant market. Putting competitors out of business is encouraged...that's... View More

It depends on the nature of the two parties classification on the rental agreement. Review the rental agreement for details.
they're the only two business that provide a specific service. Is that a monopoly and, if so, isn't that illegal?

Local HOA seems to require that homeowners buy their storm doors from one particular reseller. Isn't that an antitrust violation? I know they can dictate color and style, maybe even brand, but can they force a homeowner to buy from a particular seller or store?
answered on Mar 13, 2017
It is not an antitrust matter. The HOA does not meet the requirements to be subject to antitrust laws. HOA requirements of a purchase from a particular dealer arguably have a rational basis to allow the hyper-conformity that some HOAs require (no comment on whether HOAs de facto transform home...
