Re: [Trad April] FR->EN actu vente forcée

[Jason Goeppinger <gnosaj AT pobox.com>]

Hello,

The term "forced bundling" comes to mind, but perhaps "bundling" is more applicable when you force a sale of "similar" or "like" things. 

I believe "forced bundling" was used in context of the court battles around forcing users to take IE with MS Windows (so perhaps we don't want to confuse "vente forcée" with that), but a web search also shows examples of "forced bundling" of cable television channels and insurance policies.

I thought I'd mention it, simply because to my American English ear, "forced bundling of software with hardware" seems to express the idea of "vente forcée" quite well.

Regards...

It's two close concepts, but not exactly the same... do you have any idea on how to translate "vente forcée" in English, preferably in a way that would make sense for an English speaker ? Best,
