Best commercial business law books according to redditors

Currently in Secured Transactions. I heard good things about this book, and have found it to be helpful myself so far.

>Once again, "monopoly" does not mean "does not let me buy spare parts" or "does not let me run my own software"

Yes it does. That's exactly what it means in this case. That's literally part of the definition, as spelled out even in trade law textbooks; Their practices play directly into restrictions on goods purchased and their usage by the consumer (one definition of a monopoly) as well as restraint of trade against other members of the marketplace.

Exceptions occur where third-party involvement or end-user tampering might decrease the value or usability of the product and undermine the brand value. For instance, my car's manufacturer can claim that my working on my car's transmission poses the threat that I can ruin an integral part of the vehicle, so they can dissuade me from doing that by saying it would void the terms of my car's warranty. However, the OEM cannot claim they alone have soul dominion over my car's parts or service life as that would make them a monopoly. They must provide a path for third-parties to take (with some consideration for best practices as defined by the OEM) to work on my vehicle. Otherwise they run into restraint of trade lawsuits.

Furthermore, they must allow me to do basic maintenance myself without infraction. Oil-lube-and-filter changes, lightbulb changes, installing new electrical components and head units, etc. Only areas that would severely impact the working of my vehicle are off-limits to me... though I could go about certification if I liked.

Also, it's illegal for the OEM to monitor all service done on all vehicles, demand they supervise over even a significant part of the work done, or dictate other matters that should be discretionary to the vendor supplying service.

So unless Firefox, Flash, a NIN branded app or me being able to change my own battery on the phone would cripple an iPhone irreparably, Apple is... by legal definition... running a monopoly.

I guess the question is, after I purchase their product, exactly how much say should Apple have in how I get to use it, change it, or upgrade it? Because right now it's not a matter of "you do that and you void your warranty" so much as it is Apple having their lawyers in courtrooms arguing that user freedoms should be outlawed outright.

How, exactly, is that not a monopoly?

If you've ever seen anything like the Gilbert Law Summaries or the Black Letter Outlines, those are "commercial outlines." Essentially, they provide a fairly comprehensive account of entire areas of the law. Personally, I would not exclusively rely on one to study. Your library should have some on the hold shelf, and you should skim through one if you are curious. Still, though, I would opt to use a past outline from a student who took the course in question and start there.

Would she be offended by The Complete Idiot's Guide to Understanding Judaism? It's well-written by a someone knowledgeable, and it does incorporate humor.

> I'd like to gift him a book that could share some insight and advice on what he should be expecting to experience in basic training and beyond.

This and this

/u/CirqueDuFuder, to think you actually had some signs of intelligence. You actually denied that innocent people are killed by the Police in the USA. Do what exactly?
The only effective change is seizing political office and using political power to crack down on America's unaccountable police.

Petitions, "peaceful protests", marches are all impotent and useless.
r/anarchism is correct in that violence is the most effective action and that civilization is built on violence. Violence is what sustains capitalism and the current socioeconomic system.
