          Yes. I’m not saying it’s not monopolistic behavior. I’m saying it’s not a government sanctioned monopoly.

                  But that’s not criminal. That’s civil. That’s no different than a contract dispute. It’s not government enforced, but it may be government mediated.

                  You could disobey a civil summons…but that’s a different issue.

                    Civil law created and enforced by the goverment is goverment sanctioned. And FYI it is also criminal, you can go to goverment-sanctioned private prison for it.

                  Just stop. This is the same bad faith rabbit hole libertarians use to say the government is all violence, from safety codes to taxes.

                  Lol, are you some sovereign citizen‽

                  The world doesn’t work like that. You can’t just say “No that thing isn’t your! I didn’t agree with it being yours.”
