Breaking them up under diverse ownership makes it a lot harder to align them, which is the goal here.
No corporate law has ever been simple so a lot of nuance needs to still be added to this.
Since you have a german tld, I assume you know a bit of german law. We have the „aktiengesetz“ which links companies through management, ownership and family. This would work perfectly for something like this.
Of course a company like starbucks could still try and break into 105 companies which need to be owned by 105 individuals with 105 CEOs and 105 different offices… but I guarantee you its a lot harder to manage than now.
I can relate. But its like getting an addict off their favorite hard drug. The fewer companies we target with this, the easier we make it happen. This should already take care of the worst offenders than can put pressure on countries. Next, we bar them for participating in thinktanks and other „legal“ ways of market manipulation.
that is a nice first step. the difficult part is to close the loopholes here such as individuals distributing their wealth to charities, other companies etc which they don't own (financially) but has %100 exercise power over. I think individuals should also not be allowed to be even remotely affiliated to more than one organization that holds more than 999mil$.
Game preservation is the biggest reason for emulators. It is shockingly hard to play some games on original hardware due to the massive costs associated with some titles.
Not Nintendo but I remember when Disney refused to allow 3 daycare centers to paint their characters on the wall so universal got to step in and let them use theirs
My questions is: what kind of person reports shit like this to Disney? How the fuck would their lawyers even be aware of something so stupid and pointless?
Lmao, I was talking about how I couldn't stomach Nintendo yesterday in a lemmy gaming thread and had dozens of Nintendo fans trying to find every excuse to shit talk me personally for daring to question their corporate overlords.
I can't stomach their garbage products anymore, and it blows me away how dedicated people are to the company.
