Good...

Perhaps we can all agree on this..

"EPSON's behavior may not be unethical, but it is, in the current state 
of the market, anti-competitive. If their chipping scheme was 100% 
successful the market would be poorer as a result."

Personally, I don't see EPSON as unethical, nor do I specifically ALWAYS 
find tying a problem..  I just feel that the market is approaching a 
point where tying should be more carefully evaluated.
