Free FreeHand Files Dear FreeHand users worldwide, We have exciting news to share. Free FreeHand has filed a civil antitrust complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California against Adobe Systems, Inc. The work of reaching this important milestone has spanned most of 2010, and we are pleased to be sharing this momentous accomplishment with you. The suit alleges that Adobe has violated federal and state antitrust laws by abusing its dominant position in the professional vector graphic illustration software market. Free FreeHand alleges that Adobe has engaged in a series of exclusionary and anticompetitive acts and strategies designed to kill FreeHand, the dominant competitor to Adobe’s Illustrator software product, instead of competing on the basis of product merit according to the principals of free market capitalism. Free FreeHand demands that Adobe be permanently enjoined from engaging in acts of monopolization and that competitive conditions be restored in the marketplace – we are pursuing all available remedies in court. A satisfactory result could be reached quickly or take a considerable amount of time depending on Adobe's legal response, and members can expect progress updates along the way. Requests for information or questions may be directed to our legal counsel: Jared H. Beck, Esq. List of all newsletters of FreeFreeHand. © 2010 FREEFREEHAND ORGANIZATION |
