Its hard to tell what will draw the ire of American Justice: * Economic terrorism (US Financial Industry) appears OK. * Anti-competitive practices, such as tying the hardware and software (Apple), appears OK. * Bundling a browser with the OS (Microsoft) is out of bounds. * Gaming TicketMaster's system (WiseGuy Tickets) provokes a PATRIOT Act like response. * Criticizing a Federal Judge's decision elicits a visit from two US Marshals.
