Re: Pricing for PHP programming???

You are taking this WAY to seriously. What you are talking about is the Sherman Act that developed our current antitrust laws. Specifically you are talking about "price fixing", which is illegal in the US. If EVERY PHP coder in the US got together at a trade show and said "We will all demand $150.00 an hour no matter what" then THAT would be illegal. Me mentioning to you how much I charge is totally legal. This mainly applies to big businesses and large manufacturers - OPEC for example would be TOTALLY illegal in the US. --Joe On Thu, Feb 01, 2001 at 08:49:00AM -0500, Brian V Bonini wrote: > Isn't it illegal in the US to discuss > rates in this manner? > > It's always been my understanding that > The U.S. law specifically makes discussion > of pricing between competitors (all or some) > a federal offense. > > Am I taking this too literally? > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net > For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net > To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Joe Stump, PHP Hacker, joestump98@yahoo.com -o) http://www.miester.org http://www.care2.com /\\ "It's not enough to succeed.
