Sort of the way that Amazon (admittedly owned by the epitome of a Limousine Liberal) forces the public to order and pay for goods and services through Amazon.com. Or the way your local grocery store requires you buy X amount of vegetables, X amount of candy and X amount of cereal. Oh, and also pay for the checker and bagger.
