Of course, if they were given a fine anywhere near the effect on the economy they had, this very forum would be decrying the EU for being overbearing and anti-business.

Not likely. This forum is very anti-price-fixing and anti-competitiveness, especially with regards to headhunting and wages like Apple/Google had.

Any time someone decries anti-business, they forgot rule #1, business always finds a way. Even in the hay day for hardcore centralized state communism/production, businesses found a way to get a piece of the pie and enrich themselves.
