    But the original iPhone was banned from South Korea for 2 years, almost certainly at Samsung's behest.

    > their actions seem to be deliberately designed to suppress the market and suppress competition But then why aren't people on HN down on Samsung in the same way?

    Great post. I am in South Korea. I could be imprisoned for the the things I have written here about Samsung and their owning family.

    Why did the union keep demanding more and more? Why didn't management just make all employees joint owners of the company?

    To be fair, Samsung almost certainly had a hand in banning the original iPhone for two years in South Korea.

    Apple don't make that many products themselves. If the Samsung Galaxy S Note S2 Ultra S is banned in the US, consumers will still be able to buy the Samsung Galaxy S Note S2 Ultra …

    Yeah but my parent poster described Apple as a bully, when Samsung initiated this whole thing.
