Harassed and Homeless for Fighting for My Rights...

"The more you stand up for yourself, the more opposition you have to endure. 

Even with proof of deliberate violations, even without having any personal mental or emotional issues, even though you do not have any substance abuse issues...the system will deliberately oppress and prevent you from maintaining employment. 

Their Lies and hate, prevent you from conducting business when you speak out against the system designed to violate certain individuals. These same individuals that they used to make a profit and then they discard you.

They present you in the worst light in order to justify little or no compensation."

Even with with work experience and many employable skills, I don't even receive an interview call in over a year.

So I developed products and I have been traveling to promote my books and poetry but when no one supports your efforts this eventually causes homelessness. 

I worked for many years in the music business and they used 40+ songs lyrics and melodies that made them hundreds of millions of dollars but because I am an unaligned African American Woman, this system feels that I am not entitled to having rights so they do not feel that they have to pay. 

Others don't like my response to what has been allowed to continue and some do not care because of their own hardships.

The Business of Music: Operating with Impunity?
http://www.mediafire.com/view/mcnkcdmd862jgmj/Antitrust%20Brief%20Proof%20of%20a%20Monopoly%20with%20Cover.pdf

View never seen before documents which demonstrate how the Business of Music Operates with Impunity for decades!


These multiple legal situations also involves: Officials, Major Music Labels, Michigan Courts, Dekalb County Police and Georgia Court’s - violation of Due Process, officials ‘acting under color of law’ to deprive rights and alleges judicial misconduct. 


There were hundreds of millions of dollars in music royalties involved with the multiple allegations of copyright infringements, breach of contract, song placements prior to Zomba contract and deprivation of civil rights that all stemmed from conflict between major entities and opponents. 

Lawsuits were filed in Both - 
Detroit, Michigan AND Dekalb County, Georgia. 

The first lawsuit was filed in Michigan after two lawyers advised me that the Co-Publishing Agreement with Zomba was standard.

After failed attempts at having me sign management contracts with their Producers, I was provided with music tracks and encouraged to build my own team. 

After submitting and discussing 40+ songs, it became clear that there was no intention of honoring that Agreement. I began to realize that Zomba had both - initiated and/or allowed the materials that I had submitted and discussed with their representatives to be used and 'gutted' by others. 

Zomba is a music publishing company who works with ALL of the Major Music Labels. 

I began to hear musical works on the radio that were derived from songs that I submitted.

 After submitting these songs, someone associated with the business brought it to my attention that an artist by the name of Desire (real name Monique), with the help of Michael Powell, Art & Rhythm’s – Larry Roc Campbell, Paul D. Allen, and Larry Hatcher has received a 6 album deal with Warner Chapel label releasing single.


Zomba is a music publishing company who works with ALL of the Major Music Labels.

I reached out to many for assistance by providing supporting documentation and I requested intervention from the beginning. I have a long list that consist of very prominent attorney’s, governmental groups and organizations that were contacted. Some showed interest but declined assistance, while others pretended that the violent acts did not exist. 

I filed a lawsuit against BMI, Zomba and Jive because of their lack of response to my request as to how BMG, MCA, EMI, WEA, Polygram and Jive have released songs which blatantly infringe upon my copyrights. 

I filed a lawsuit claiming Antitrust Violations, Breach of Contract and Copyright Infringements. I also requested counsel be assigned due to multiple, coincidental acts of violence surrounding my family.

Although the Amended Complaint was ‘set forth in short, plain statements' as required by law. Clearly explained Each document listed as Exhibits and filed in accordance with Federal Civil Procedures, the courts ignored the Complaint and the supporting documents. 

The Michigan courts dismissed my case as frivolous preventing me an opportunity to have my case heard. Judge Bernard A. Friedman cited that my complaint was bizarre, irrational and indeed delusional. Judge Friedman continues to state that the complaint is fanciful and delusional. 

I didn’t know that copyrights, phone records and certified mail receipts were miscellaneous papers.


 ‘It is easier to ignore facts and allow corruption to continue by claiming that my complaint was bizarre, irrational and indeed delusional but I didn’t imagine bullet holes, family members assaulted, friend and house shot up, my songs ‘gutted’ and played on the radio...


Both lawsuits  demonstrates questionable, unethical and egregious behavior by some of the courts representatives. This is no coincidence that two courts in different states would ignore actual factual claims against the same person who initially filed complaint against music industry reps. 

Multiple criminal activities and misconduct are used to prevent and hinder justice for decades...from the simple auto accidents to the major lawsuits.

SEE FOR YOURSELF - PACER Printout and Key-Points:


Lovelace vs. Zomba

GEORGIA COURTS ALLOWED DEFENDANTS TO DENY SERVICE AND THEY PLACED BLAME ON PLAINTIFF WHEN COURTS CLERKS WAS CLEARLY ORDERED TO PROCESS. 

THE COURTS OWN SYSTEM SHOWED SERVICE OF SUMMONS WAS INDEED PROCESSED BUT JUDGE IGNORED.

PLAINTIFF FILED REPEATED MOTIONS FOR CORRECTION AND NOTICE OF ERROR BUT COURTS IGNORED OBVIOUS CONCERNS WITH THE CLERKS OFFICE BEHAVIOR.



1. Plaintiff filed Lawsuit representing herself In Forma Pauperis.

2. Plaintiff's Lawsuit survived a Frivolity Review.

3. The Court Ordered that the Clerks Office process 


the necessary paperwork; INCLUDING, USM-285 SUMMONS 

because plaintiff was unable to afford processing fees. 

The Summons advised the Defendants-Dekalb County Police Dept. to answer the Complaint filed against them within 20 days.


4. Clerks Ignored and Excluded 1st Defendants-Dekalb County Police Dept. from Docket even though they were listed 1st on the Original Complaint.



5. Pacer No. 9 - shows that the SUMMONS 

WAS ISSUED ON 03/16/2004 to the Defendants-Dekalb 

County Police Dept. BUT after (4) Four Months past the 

allotted (20) twenty days...





They DENIED receiving the Summons processed by the Clerk's Office.


6. Per Courts Order and Summons, the Defendants-


Dekalb County Police Dept. had (20) days to file an 

Answer with the Courts; yet, they did not.


7. Plaintiff filed Motion for Entry of Default and Motion for 
Summary Judgment because the Defendants did not Answer 
the Complaint.






8. Defendants-Dekalb County Police DENIED receiving 

the Summons and blamed Plaintiff. Defendants did not 


file their response to Motion until  07/09/2004

AFTER THE JUDGE WAS SWITCHED


Again, that was (4) Four months later after Judge was 

switched without cause.



Courts switched Judges on 07/12/2004 - two months after 

receiving Motion for Summary Judgment.


Clerks never submitted Amended Motion for 

Summary Judgment w/ Supporting Documentation to Support 

Genuine Issue for Trial to then Judge Jack T Camp. 



Instead the clerks mislabeled the Motion as Miscellaneous on 

the Court’s Docket. 



Plaintiff filed Motion for Entry of Default and Motion for Summary Judgment 
BUT Courts and Clerk's Office Conspired, ignored and waited allowing Defendants- DEKALB COUNTY POLICE an additional

Courts switched Judges on 07/12/2004 

(two months after receiving Motion for 

Summary Judgment) but Clerks never 

submitted Amended Motion for Summary 

Judgment to then Judge Jack T Camp.


Judge Jack T Camp was fair and impartial 

in recognizing that if certain criteria was 

met...Dekalb County Police can be a 

suable entity!

Clerks Secondary U.S. DOJ Marshal's

Clerks decided to process anotherSummons - (4) Four Months Later - 07/09/2004, 

NOTE: Plaintiff’s signature not listed

ALSO...These forms are processed by U.S. DOJ. This Entity was previously contacted regarding Zomba case in Michigan. 

I find it hard to believe that anyone could sue the Police Dept and it not raise an eyebrow within this governmental agency. See below:

Clerk ignored Request for Summary Motion for Judgment after allotted 20 days for response and after switching Judges. I was never addressed but the Clerks processed this without a Court Order. 

The initial Courts Order advising Clerks to process was back in February not July. Clerks was supposed to Enter Default and Motion for Summary Judgments after 20 days.

Lovelace vs. Zomba Lawsuit

I filed a lawsuit against BMI, Zomba and Jive because of their lack of response to my request as to how BMG, MCA, EMI, WEA, Polygram and Jive have released songs which blatantly infringe upon my copyrights. 






Initial Request for D.O.J. Assistance -Zomba




DOJ Ignored Coincidental Violent Acts, Docs and Exhibits

DOJ - Chose to take No Action




Clearly, this is NOT just an issue of Breach of Contract!
DOJ - Chose to take No Action


DOJ Antitrust Division Letter Returning Exhibits

See Below:


This letter is implying that I requested closure but previous letter ignored everything; including multiple violent acts…







DOJ Advised Materials Were Lost


There should have been a record from previous correspondents especially since U.S. Department of Justice - Marshal Division was used to serve Defendants years later.


A Monopoly Exist: Not the Game!

When reviewing and comparing the allegations of copyright infringements, civil rights violations, etc… listed in Lovelace vs. Zomba AND Lovelace vs. Dekalb County Police it is apparent that they work together in a combined effort to monopolize.

I say this because when attempting to seek resolution you are faced with the following:
1.      Being denied representation because of either a ‘conflict of interest’ issue due to the industry being controlled.

2.      The fact that no entertainment attorney wants to slug it out on your behalf for fear of preventing further or future business.

3.       Most attorneys require a very large retainer that the artist usually doesn’t have. The lack of funds is usually because the initial attorney had advised this artist that the contract with low figures were standard in the business encouraging acceptance.

4.      Under false pretense, promises and manipulation, the publishing or record take your materials/works.  The publishing or record company contract will then state that your contract says that we can choose not to pursue your claims.

5.      You are faced with major opposition from multiple sources. I have had multiple major companies violate the Federal Trade Commission Fair Trade Act and Competition Laws. They assisted with hindering my efforts in promoting and marketing my Titles by creating fake sellers, re-routed links to other products, listed titles in the wrong categories and listed incorrect prices. These other companies circumventing justice when I was promoting my books that were exposing the blatant tactics and methods subjected.

I no longer wonder why people would easily associate the word ‘slave’ with the music business and the prison system. The courts only seem to recognize the goals of the major corporations.

I filed a lawsuit against BMI, Zomba and Jive because of their lack of response to my request as to how BMG, MCA, EMI, WEA, Polygram and Jive have released songs which blatantly infringe upon my copyrights. I sent these lyrics to Zomba and discussed these works in detail. 

Clearly, I have been denied my rights and this definitely confirms a Monopoly situation.

I was very emotional at this time and although I lacked the skill of a licensed attorney, my revised complaint complied completely with Fed. Rules of Civil Procedure but the courts responded as if they did not receive this revised copy.

I provided copies of copyrights. I provided proof of certified mailings and other documents to support that I required courts assistance. Although I requested assistance from the DOJ and the courts due to violence. These acts of violence were ignored and these supporting documents were referred to as miscellaneous papers.

On July 22, 1996 the courts dismissed my case as frivolous preventing me an opportunity to have my case heard. Judge Bernard A. Friedman cited that my complaint was bizarre, irrational and indeed delusional. Judge Friedman continues to state that the complaint is fanciful and delusional. I didn’t know that copyrights and certified mail receipts were miscellaneous papers.


The definition of a Monopoly is complete control of the entire supply of goods or of a service in a certain area or market, a large company that has a monopoly, complete ownership or control of something. This sums everything up in a single sentence. 


How else is this allowed to continue with impunity?

It was acceptable to those in positions when the decision was made to try to induce a suicidal response until I chose to fight back. Suddenly, I became the one responsible for the aftermath. 

When I began to describe the entire event from my experience and background as being victimized, suddenly I am supposed to be a snitch but it is supposed to be okay for everyone to try to quietly murder me and I am not supposed to fight back?

It is impossible and let’s not forget that I was there at the initial onset, watching ALL assist in obtaining my materials for the grand finale which was to be - my demise. Some would like for you to believe that this is the work of one person but none of the possible scapegoats had the power to orchestrate all of these coordinated events.

Although I can only guess that some individual representing a specific group may have devised a scheme to use this situation for profit. 

Even if this was the case, the only reason why this would be possible is if both parties involved didn’t recognize me as a person because it is a predominantly male dominated industry. 

There was no acknowledgment or contact with me at all other than abuse.

It is possible that others may have negatively been affected and they may have required representation but instead of addressing me so that I could clarify that there are compounded situations, assisting in clearing up the entire ‘cluster muck.’ 

I say this because after being violated, I had hospital employee’s whisper to each other within earshot, ‘that’s what he’s supposed to do…’ as they looked at me smiling and smirking. They had to be implying that they were representing another party.

There are too many coincidences where some horrible act is attributed to a single individual for this to be random. This is why I really want nothing to do with any one of those producers from my past. 

If my material helps alleviate persecution for anyone by clarifying some information, that is fine but I have received a large amount of retaliation so just knowing that someone allowed my family and I to become subjected as a scapegoat is unacceptable.

Instead of communicating, these individuals decided to launch this campaign to possibly cover for the geniuses who actually may have used their positions to manipulate a payoff. I say this because this may be contributing to the immense pressure for me to ‘let it go,’ or the reasons why it was so important for me to ‘just die’ or the pressure to force an acceptance of a minuscule offer.

I conducted business forthright and with good intentions. I completed split sheets on shared works and I required signed agreements for those who chose to work on projects with me.  

In addition, I was able to secure four or five exclusive writers under my Production Company, Seven West. After providing Zomba with copies of my writer’s contracts, I never heard from these writers again.

I discussed and submitted over 40 forty plus musical lyrics and melodies. I didn’t give permission and I did not sign my works away. I signed one co-publishing agreement for fifty percent - ONLY. 

Still, I was forced to listen to my musical lyrics and melodies on the radio for decades as they reached the top the charts but I received no royalties, only threats. 

With the information provided here and in all three of my titles, there should not be any doubt as to this clearly exposing corruption, conspiracies and the monopolization of an industry. 

What I find to be really deplorable is that in addition to having to fight those is power and positions, there are individuals who will combined their efforts to also apply social pressure to invoke a form of social exile. These people take pleasure in exacting revenge in the name of others that have pointed blame at you for messing up their deal and standing up for your work.  

I write my books so that I can reach both those who are in need of this information and those who are in a position to address the blatant atrocities properly. I also write in order to reach any sensible human beings not taken in by the lies, greed and payoffs, etc... that allow this to continue in the hopes that they will help.

Somewhere there is a Jehovah’s Witness or some other group who will become subjected to the same tactics and methods. 

I want them to be able to make an informed decision to protect themselves against the traps or at least recognize the need to tailor their contract and request a sufficient amount of advance to protect themselves after the games begin because most entertainment attorneys will not risk future business by educating you once you have been selected or branded as ‘the Mark.’

I plan to continue to write my books and blogs until it is clear that this has been a deliberate attempt to induce suicidal actions, to violate my civil and human rights, to subject me to continued persecution in order to cause my surrender or demise. 

With the information provided here and in all three of my titles, there should not be any doubt as to this clearly exposing corruption, conspiracies and the monopolization of an industry. 

Caught in crossfire between major entities; the system and those who have been negatively impacted - I am forced to live as a homeless outcast. In this case, I have lived in many cities, moving from town to town looking for a home and a support base but the people in positions have ensured that too many people have been negatively affected.

There have been women and children assaulted and violated; yet, NO ONE has made an effort to bring an end to this entire ordeal because each are fighting to justify their own actions. Again, these continued incidents are instigated in the hopes that this will ensure that no one will support your fight for justice.

Those in or associated with the music industry have engaged in, encouraged and have allowed violent acts to incur solely due to their pride, greed and hate.  While behind the scenes, the hurting of others continue so that they will hate you too...this is not a game! 

I know too many who have been raised as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses and they are now labeled and receiving SSI-Social Security Benefits or suffering from some sort of depression related to these practices. 

This is their answer after brutalizing human beings...split up their royalties between big-wigs, make promises to their minions, lock the victims up, label them, induce suicide and/or murder. 

I disagree with raising children as victims and not preparing them for the world outside of the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses.

There is no reason why the police departments should be able to use their positions to deliberately profit and cause harm to a relative of someone accused of killing a police officer. There are too many coincidences and events surrounding one individual for EVERYONE to ignore FACTS!


Proof of a Conspiracy


There are too many coincidences and events surrounding one individual for EVERYONE to ignore FACTS! There are too many coincidences where some horrible act is attributed to a single individual for this to be random. The following points clearly demonstrates a combined effort:

1.      In order for BMG, MCA, PolyGram, EMI, the Sony Group or the WEA Group to have multiple blatant similarities to songs listed in copyright infringements this has to be a combined effort and these label reps working together. This was a combined effort to circumvent justice to monopolize.

2.      Mail tampering amongst different carriers was definitely involved and proven with documentation. Two separate carriers admitted in writing referencing being unable to explain mail delivery delays. This was a combined effort to circumvent justice to monopolize.

3.      Not one of these individuals would be able to track and coordinate persecution and harassment. This was a combined effort to circumvent justice to monopolize.

4.      Not one of these individuals would be able to manipulate the violations of my Civil Rights AND orchestrate the questionable behavior from both the States of Georgia and Michigan Court’s. This was a combined effort to circumvent justice to monopolize.

5.      No single person is able to orchestrate the unprovoked modification of criminal background records. Suddenly officials were ready to enforce their duties when choosing to violate the Due Process Clause but unavailable to honor the duties involved in upholding a citizens rights. This was a combined effort to circumvent justice.

There are a lot of artist that befall convenient legal issues prior to releasing projects - (Example: Tupac never had a criminal record prior to his release).

6.      The illegally obtained warrant was issued conveniently during the days when I was suffering through retaliation and my torturous days of being forced to listen to all my ‘gutted’ works on the radio, etc... This required combined effort to induce hopelessness and suicide.

7.      The timing of the execution of this illegally obtained warrant was in sync with everything that was going on around my trials with seeking assistance from attorneys and all of the many groups. I had filed the copyrights listed below and they were processed just months prior to the illegally obtained warrant being issued.

8.      More importantly, for decades I have been contacting governmental agencies, groups, organizations and attorneys off and on since the beginning.  I was providing supporting documents which substantiate my claims and CLEARLY raise questions regarding these compounded coincidences but I am refused.

9.       The fact that these agency and groups that are neglecting to acknowledge blatant wrongs; they’re inaction whether direct or indirect, inadvertently supports this injustice. Promoting deprivation of rights when an obvious injustice is ignored.


10.  When any other corporation is found to be in violation of someone’s rights or involved in any unethical behavior, they are held liable. How is it that an industry can deprive rights and deny compensation from their employees (artist/producers) without being held accountable for decades? 

What’s Love Got to Do with It?


During this ordeal there have been multiple references to Love or an attempt to play some sort of ‘heartbreak hotel’ game. I know that it is not uncommon for music to remind you of a person; especially, if you wrote lyrics for or with that person. Miraculously, I was supposed to listen to some music and fall in love, allowing some man with whom I have no connection to or any communication with for decades… to take control of my situation?

If someone cared, they should have made it clear but after being violated, harassed and ostracized for decades...it is too late! 

Every time that I think of either of them, I am reminded of how many people have used their names when inflicting harm, mocking and violating. True or not, it is clear that I now associate the violation of women and children with both major entities. 

Playing a song to induce feelings and emotions without an individual having had a previous relationship and expecting results is foolish. That kind of thinking is not realistic and if you believe otherwise than you may want to seek professional help. This was not done out of love and it’s not about one man’s actions, this was a joint effort!

I thought Copyright Laws were supposed to protect writers! I have been copyrighting my lyrics and melodies since 1991. 

Even with Copyrights, proof of submission, phone records proving works were discussed and blatant similarities to works released on major labels - I was denied representation. 

Even with Lawsuit filed in accordance with Federal Rules on Civil procedures, I was not given an opportunity to address my claims in court!


With all that was mentioned, courts ignored actual events of violence, denied that stress can attribute to and cause physical ailments.

So, let me get this right…I imagined my house getting shot up, double homicide, children assaulted and sister getting raped and dropped off at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses. The Michigan Judge could have assigned counsel or made another decision. Talk about getting assaulted, I felt violated all over again. 

Zomba is a music publishing company who works with ALL of the Major Music Labels.


There are no statutes of limitations on civil rights 

violations; especially, with all of the tactics and 

methods used to circumvent justice. I intend to 

continue to seek counsel and find someone who 

wants to put an end to blatant violations of civil 

rights and make those who can ...do what they 

are supposed to do.



This is really a Dirty Game!

THESE ARE NO COINCIDENCES!
THEY DON’T WANT ME TO SELL MY BOOKS EXPOSING THESE ATROCITIES BUT THEY DON’T WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE ME
AS A HUMAN BEING.
Each instance listed above and in the Extra Clippings can easily be categorized as violating the Federal Fair Trade Act and Unfair Competition Laws.


In Order for the Music Business and the Court System to continue blatant wrongdoing for decades, It would appear that this 'System' profits and Encourages these violations to continue.

People want you to believe that Money, Payoffs, Popularity Contests and Racism Supersedes Having 

Rights Guaranteed by The Constitution of the United States...But I AM NOT LETTING GO!


The definition of a Monopoly is complete control of the entire supply of goods or of a service in a certain area or market, a large company that has a monopoly, complete ownership or control of something. This sums everything up in a single sentence. How else is this allowed to continue with impunity?

Attorney's knowingly conspire to have you  sign a standard contract for small amount when they know that you will need a large retainer when the deal goes sour. 

Under false pretense, promises and manipulation, the publishing or record take your materials/works.  

Music Publisher manipulates to obtain fresh ideas and woks with the intention of using works said works without honoring the Agreement. They flash a list of Major Labels that they will place your works with but then deny you royalties.

The Courts work against the Artist repeatedly by refusing to even acknowledge your complaints across State lines; which prevents relief that would allow you to secure an appropriate retainer. 

The Artist/writer/small publishing and production companies are unable to operate or conduct business because the industry conspires against them.

In addition, there is coincidental acts of violence, isolation and oppression used to intimidate...preventing proper resolution.

The publishing or record company contract will then state that your contract says that we can choose not to pursue your claims. 

You are faced with major opposition from multiple sources. I have had multiple major companies violate the Federal Trade Commission Fair Trade Act and Competition Laws. 

They assisted with hindering my efforts in promoting and marketing my Titles by creating fake sellers, re-routed links to other products, listed titles in the wrong categories and listed incorrect prices. 

These other companies circumventing justice when I was promoting my books that were exposing the blatant tactics and methods subjected.

15 U.S. Code § 2 - Monopolizing trade a felony; penalty


Every person who shall monopolize, or attempt to monopolize, or combine or conspire with any other person or persons, to monopolize any part of the trade or commerce among the several States, or with foreign nations, shall be deemed guilty of a felony, and, on conviction thereof, shall be punished by fine not exceeding $100,000,000 if a corporation, or, if any other person, $1,000,000, or by imprisonment not exceeding 10 years, or by both said punishments, in the discretion of the court.



Even with all of the documentation 

regarding multiple events of violence, 

court misconduct, mail tampering, etc..

recently I received this notice from the 

D.O.J Antitrust Division....


Dear Ms. Lovelace:

Thank you for contacting the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice.  The Citizen Complaint Center has carefully reviewed your complaint and understands your concerns, but we have determined that the information provided does not raise antitrust issues that warrant further review by the Division.  We have your information on file and should the legal staff need further information, they may contact you in the future.  If you have not already done so, you might wish to consult a private attorney. 

You might wish to explore our website which contains a primer on antitrust laws and explains what constitutes an antitrust violation.  http://www.usdoj.gov/atr/http://www.justice.gov/atr/public/div_stats/antitrust-enfor-consumer.pdf;http://www.usdoj.gov/atr/public/guidelines/209114.htm

We appreciate your interest in the enforcement of the federal antitrust laws and we hope you are able to resolve your concerns.

Sincerely,

Citizen Complaint Center
Antitrust Division
Department of Justice







I have read their website information and it says:



The Sherman Act outlaws "every contract, combination, or conspiracy in restraint of trade," and any "monopolization, attempted monopolization, or conspiracy or combination to monopolize." Long ago, the Supreme Court decided that the Sherman Act does not prohibit every restraint of trade, only those that are unreasonable. For instance, in some sense, an agreement between two individuals to form a partnership restrains trade, but may not do so unreasonably, and thus may be lawful under the antitrust laws. On the other hand, certain acts are considered so harmful to competition that they are almost always illegal. These include plain arrangements among competing individuals or businesses to fix prices, divide markets, or rig bids. These acts are "per se" violations of the Sherman Act; in other words, no defense or justification is allowed.
The penalties for violating the Sherman Act can be severe. Although most enforcement actions are civil, the Sherman Act is also a criminal law, and individuals and businesses that violate it may be prosecuted by the Department of Justice. Criminal prosecutions are typically limited to intentional and clear violations such as when competitors fix prices or rig bids. The Sherman Act imposes criminal penalties of up to $100 million for a corporation and $1 million for an individual, along with up to 10 years in prison. Under federal law, the maximum fine may be increased to twice the amount the conspirators gained from the illegal acts or twice the money lost by the victims of the crime, if either of those amounts is over $100 million.
The Federal Trade Commission Act bans "unfair methods of competition" and "unfair or deceptive acts or practices." The Supreme Court has said that all violations of the Sherman Act also violate the FTC Act. Thus, although the FTC does not technically enforce the Sherman Act, it can bring cases under the FTC Act against the same kinds of activities that violate the Sherman Act. The FTC Act also reaches other practices that harm competition, but that may not fit neatly into categories of conduct formally prohibited by the Sherman Act. Only the FTC brings cases under the FTC Act.
The Clayton Act addresses specific practices that the Sherman Act does not clearly prohibit, such as mergers and interlocking directorates (that is, the same person making business decisions for competing companies). Section 7 of the Clayton Act prohibits mergers and acquisitions where the effect "may be substantially to lessen competition, or to tend to create a monopoly." As amended by the Robinson-Patman Act of 1936, the Clayton Act also bans certain discriminatory prices, services, and allowances in dealings between merchants. The Clayton Act was amended again in 1976 by the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act to require companies planning large mergers or acquisitions to notify the government of their plans in advance. The Clayton Act also authorizes private parties to sue for triple damages when they have been harmed by conduct that violates either the Sherman or Clayton Act and to obtain a court order prohibiting the anticompetitive practice in the future.
