Not so. I have no problem with companies price fixing in what's supposed to be a free market. If the price they fix at is too high for me then I'll simply refuse to buy their products opening the way for someone else to come out at a better price. I don't find this to be morally or ethically wrong. I do however have a problem with bureaucrats legislating stupid laws without knowing the consequences of their actions because of their ideological beliefs!
And your argument about taking issue with something because it's online is just simply ridiculous.
If there are laws to prevent people sticking their noses into other people business offline, then those laws should apply online also, no?
I hate busy bodies, and I hate busy bodies that profit from breaking laws governments should be upholding more!
This clearly shows that you do not understand what price fixing means. The whole idea behind price fixing is to keep competitors out or to drive them out by keeping prices at artificial levels. It has nothing to do with fair competition. Read e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_fixing before you claim it's alright and fair.

See, that's exactly what I was waiting from you: hypocrisy. First you derail against companies being greedy and morally and ethically corrupt, and then the next thing you know you're saying it's actually okay as long as it doesn't involve online activities.
