    Just the first lines of the linked article says what I said, having a monopoly isn’t illegal on itself. Only abusing the dominance is.

    Which paragraph or lines do you specifically speaking of? Its a long text, so quoting or pointing the part you refer to would be good.

      I’m not really trying to critique you, I just know that a ton of people only read the headline or don’t read things thoroughly, or don’t even click into the actual article at all.

      I am just adding my 2 cents as someone with a degree in economics, so I’m not citing the article, I’m citing my years of education in economics and years of work that made use of it.

      The article does not really go into the difference between US and UK law around monopolies, so I wanted to explore that a bit myself.

      Also, when you say ‘the first lines of the linked article says what I said’… do you mean the OP linked article, or the lexology link that I provided?

      Because the IGN article says nothing about whether simply being a monopoly is illegal, that’s why I provided the lexology link, to clarify that.

      Sorry if I am not quite understanding what you are saying.
