    "And in the end there is but one company"

    When I started paintbal there was alot of companys, but as I got more into it I realized that there are becoming fewer and fewer companys. About once a month or so I hear " So and So bought out So and So" What's up with this before we know it there won't be a Paintbal Inustrie there will be a Paintball Company.

    I think you are greatly over-exagerating the situation here. It is common American capitalism that if one company has a good enough product they will inevitably end up being bought. For the most part this is true.

    But as long as there is a free market out there will always be the ability for someone with and idea and enough VC to get their company started.
    Return to the free market. Get rid of all government regulations and let society make it's own decisions. Time and again the relaxing of government regulations has increased profits, innovation and the economy.

                Rock The Boat
                ( The Hues Corporation )

                So I'd like to know where, you got the notion
                Said I'd like to know where, you got the notion
                To rock the boat, don't rock the boat baby
                Rock the boat, don't tip the boat over
                Rock the boat, don't rock the boat baby
                Rock the boat

                Ever since our voyage of love began
                Your touch has thrilled me like the rush of the wind
                And your arms have held me safe from a rolling sea
                There's always been a quiet place to harbor you and me

                Our love is like a ship on the ocean
                We've been sailing with a cargo full of love and devotion

                So I'd like to know where, you got the notion
                Said I'd like to know where, you got the notion
                To rock the boat, don't rock the boat baby
                Rock the boat, don't tip the boat over
                Rock the boat, don't rock the boat baby
                Rock the boat

                Up to now we sailed through every storm
                And I've always had your tender lips to keep me warm
                Oh I need to have the strength that flows from you
                Don't let me drift away my dear, when love can see me through

                Our love is like a ship on the ocean
                We've been sailing with a cargo full of love and devotion

                So I'd like to know where, you got the notion
                Said I'd like to know where, you got the notion
                To rock the boat
                Rock the boat
                Rock the boat
                Rock the boat
                Rock the boat
                Rock the boat
                Rock the boat
                Rock the boat

                      I was thinking about the one by the Fat Boys.

                          Yes I know the one by FB you are refering too. Also Bob Marley had one by the same title. Rock the Boat. Found both of those searching for all the lyrics of the Hues Corporation one.

                            Since I've got into paintball, Ive seen the exact opposite. There are far more companies out there....

                            If your talking about companies buying others, and suing others as well, quite a bit of PB companies have done it aside from BE.
