Again, the emails do not clearly detail anything you described.  They mention that there are agreements in place, but give no details about what they entail.  The conclusion is pure speculation.  IF they provide a copy of that actual agreement that outlines this, then I will completely agree.  This is more about not destroying one business to enrich another.  This does not stop people from hiring people away to their company, it asks that they communicate their intent.

I guess as the case goes on, there will be more discovery that will either support your opinion or not.

Either way, this happens in almost all businesses.

Excuse me, but that's a load of bullshit.  Yeah, I'm sure Sony hiring some employees from Pixar, Dreamworks and ILM was really going to destroy 3 multi-billion dollar corporations, how fragile Pixar, ILM and Dreamworks really must be, right?

And the prosecution doesn't have to prove anything other than beyond reasonable doubt.  So even if the agreement isn't written down in black and white, these emails and statements from current/former employees, and especially from Sony could more than prove the case.  The statements made in the depositions and the emails, thus far, definitely suggest wage fixing was taking place.

I wasn't talking about destroying the whole parent companies.  I was talking about these particular animation companies.  If you look up these companies, you will see that the parties involved weren't reall Sony the parent company, but these small companies started for the sole purpose of animation.  THese small companies have to earn their profits.  The Sony division that they talk about is actually gone now because it couldn't actuall make it...
