The synonym for cartel is a monopoly and MS just got fined for monopolistic practices by the EU. I didn't say MS was trying to cartel HD-Disks, you're just assuming that.
I'm just pointing out that none of these companies are perfect. So I don't see why these HD-DVD fanboys are jumping over here to complain about Sony's monopolistic practices when they've got a culprit on their side too. I mean the second post was about Blu-ray and the article is about video tapes. So I don't see the relevance of your argument. If you can ignore MS practices when it doesn't apply to the format was how can you do the opposite for Sony.
It's the price of economic freedom that your going to have stuff like this happen. You can't stop it, you can only hope to keep it in check.
