I think you still got it wrong. It is more like Kinkos discovering you need to make some copies and then buying up ALL the paper and ink at staples, and then setting up shop right outside your house, with a higher price :).
I don't see anything wrong with this, it simply forces the market (theoretically) to hold on to valuable securities longer, which in theory would make it impossible for HFT firms to do this. In practice, everything is irrational, but it sure beats the pants off overregulation.
