Anti-competitive practices

These can include:

• 
  Dumping, where a company sells a product in a competitive market at a loss. Though the company loses money for each sale, the company hopes to force other competitors out of the market, after which the company would be free to raise prices for a greater profit.

• 
  Exclusive dealing, where a retailer or wholesaler is obliged by contract to only purchase from the contracted supplier.

• 
  Price fixing, where companies collude to set prices, effectively dismantling the free market.

• 
  Refusal to deal, e.g., two companies agree not to use a certain vendor

• 
  Dividing territories, an agreement by two companies to stay out of each other's way and reduce competition in the agreed-upon territories.

• 
  Limit Pricing, where the price is set by a monopolist at a level intended to discourage entry into a market.

• 
  Tying, where products that aren't naturally related must be purchased together.

• 
  Resale price maintenance, where resellers are not allowed to set prices independently.

Also criticized are:

• 
  Absorption of a competitor or competing technology, where the powerful firm effectively co-opts or swallows its competitor rather than see it either compete directly or be absorbed by another firm.


• 
  Subsidies from government which allow a firm to function without being profitable, giving them an advantage over competition or effectively barring competition


• 
  Regulations which place costly restrictions on firms that less wealthy firms cannot afford to implement


• 
  Protectionism, Tariffs and Quotas which give firms insulation from competitive forces


• 
  Patent misuse and copyright misuse, such as fraudulently obtaining a patent, copyright, or other form of intellectual property; or using such legal devices to gain advantage in an unrelated market.


• 
  Digital rights management which prevents owners from selling used media, as would normally be allowed by the first sale doctrine.

In business and economics, predatory pricing is the practice of selling a product or service at a very low price, intending to drive competitors out of the market, or create barriers to entry for potential new competitors. If competitors or potential competitors cannot sustain equal or lower prices without losing money, they go out of business or choose not to enter the business. The predatory merchant then has fewer competitors or is even a de facto monopoly, and hypothetically could then raise prices above what the market would otherwise bear.

In many countries predatory pricing is considered anti-competitive and is illegal under competition laws. It is usually difficult to prove that prices dropped because of deliberate predatory pricing rather than legitimate price competition. In any case, competitors may be driven out of the market before the case is ever heard.

Psychological warfare (PSYWAR), or the basic aspects of modern psychological operations (PSYOP), have been known by many other names or terms, including Psy Ops, Political Warfare, “Hearts and Minds”, and Propaganda.^[1] Various techniques are used, by any set of groups, and aimed to influence a target audience's value systems, belief systems, emotions, motives, reasoning, or behavior. It is used to induce confessions or reinforce attitudes and behaviors favorable to the originator's objectives, and are sometimes combined with black operations or false flag tactics. Target audiences can be governments, organizations, groups, and individuals.

In Propaganda: The Formation of Men's Attitudes, Jacques Ellul discusses psychological warfare as a common peace policy practice between nations as a form of indirect aggression in place of military aggression. This type of propaganda drains the public opinion of an opposing regime by stripping away its power on public opinion. This form of aggression is hard to defend against because no international court of justice is capable of protecting against psychological aggression since it cannot be legally adjudicated. The only defense is using the same means of psychological warfare. It is the burden of every government to defend its state against propaganda aggression. "Here the propagandists is dealing with a foreign adversary whose morale he seeks to destroy by psychological means so that the opponent begins to doubt the validity of his beliefs and actions."^[2]
