HP & Staples Collude On $8,000/Gallon Ink?

Posted by kdawson on from the that's-no-razor-blade dept.

I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property writes "HP and Staples are facing an anti-trust lawsuit over replacement printer cartridges. According to the lawsuit, HP paid Staples $100 million to refuse to stock competing ink cartridges. HP could make that back in short order when you consider that printer ink can cost $8,000 per gallon and certain printers deceive users to waste as much as 64% of their ink."

    You recommended Walmart? ::shudder::

    Your money is like your vote. You should only give it to the people you'd like to have it.

    Walmart has done as much to advance the conservative agenda in America as any Congressman or Senator has, yet people who would never vote for the right-wing facists queue up every day to give their money to one.
