Anti-trust against Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony.

Anti-trust against Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony.

Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony all have a 'Coercive Monopoly' over their platforms. Each have preventive measures to prevent competition of Software Development Kits (SDK), insuring that to develop on their platform you must pay a fee for a license which is only available from them. The firmware or operating system that runs on their platforms prevents the use of other SDKs and other firmware in an effort to intentionally cripple the Computer and in some cases break it permanently.
Not only this but in some cases where an alternative SDK can be found the distributors have been charged against the digital millennium copyright act and sentenced to jail.
As an owner of these systems I feel like I am being wronged. I should be able to what I want with my Computers without Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sonys authority.
