It's just capitalism.

Not sure I follow. But when you say 'capitalism' do you mean the free exchange of goods and services? If so, did you buy the computer you used to write your comment? Or the food you ate this morning for breakfast?

My point is that this isn't the free market malfunctioning. This is the entirely logical outcome of capitalism. What you (and I) are asking for is more regulation to prevent these outcomes.

I am not asking for more regulation. Regulation often creates barrier to entry for the little guys. Good luck.
