I hear often that when something new appears that "competition is good". The primary reasons competition is seen as good, are: it drives down prices; it gives consumers more choice; it pushes technology forward, quicker. Competition is not good because: competition is why consumers have to choose between HD-DVD and BluRay; competition is why DRM exists; and more. In this article, each of the supposed benefits of competition will be looked at in more detail.

Yeah, it's true.
Infact, in italian philosofic ambients we like to distinguish "Marxian" arguments (of Marx himself) and "Marxist" arguments (inspired by Marx's works, but many time really different from the inspiration). The same difference is between "Thomasian" (of Saint Thomas of Aquino) and "Thomist". :-)
