12. From Edupage for July 31, 2000 (http://listserv.educause.edu):
"JUDGE BANS FORD FROM WEB CAR SALES IN TEXAS
"Ford will not be able to sell used cars over the Internet in Texas,
and the Texas Department of Transportation acted within the law to
crack down on the company's Web site, a federal judge ruled recently.
Judge Sam Sparks said Ford's Preowned.com site was in violation of a
state law that prevents carmakers from selling cars to consumers
without a third-party dealer."
Texas consumers should be very happy that their state officials are so concerned about their well-being, and take quick action to protect them from the greed of big businesses such as Ford. Do you agree or disagree? Why or why not?
