Micron Seeking Amnesty in DoJ Antitrust Probe?

deaddeng writes "Memory maker Micron Technology is allegedly seeking amnesty from a US Dept. of Justice grand jury investigation of price fixing, collusion, and antitrust by the memory industry, according to numerous news services, including the LA Times and Reuters. Last week, a Micron regional marketing employee pled guilty to charges brought under the same DoJ investigation for destruction of evidence and lying to the grand jury. The DoJ is investigating charges that major memory makers colluded to prevent the success of Rambus memory favored by Intel, and once that was achieved, colluded again to raise prices for DDR-SDRAM in 2001-02. If Micron is granted amnesty, it can keep its executives from facing criminal prosecution, but it may still face civil court challenges."

Re:Who can you buy from?

[heh2k]

Normally, I try to make ethical decisions about where and what I buy. I pick up stuff made in the U.S. when I can (and it's not easy anymore), I avoid patronizing businesses that have practices I don't agree with, and I try to support businesses that benefit our community with our presence.

please explain to me how buying imports is unethical. do people in other countries not deserve to make money from their hard work? are they bad people? i would MUCH rather have a developing country sells goods and services for money than have them get free money take from working americans by our government. trade restrictions are an artifical barrier that distorts the true valve of things. it HURTS US. what about poor americans, trying to make something of themselves? why should they be forced to pay artifically high prices, when imports are much less expensive? why should ANYONE? since i know someone will reply and mention "sweat shops": like john stossel(sp) says, what's wrong w/ sweat and hard work? those people are trying to make a living. when these socialist idiots go around claiming these workers are "victoms", the companies leave, making them unemployed! those people are good, hard working people trying to better themselves and the US meddels(sp) with their economy (hurting it). and wrt child labor, this country only recently could afford the luxary (yes, it's a luxary) of not having our children work.
