Your link doesn't work since the '.' fell off the end: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook,_Inc._v._Power_Ventures,_Inc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook,_Inc._v._Power_Ventur.... And I'd hardly call Facebook a monopoly in 2009 when that case was decided. I think Myspace still had more users at that time.

  The same happened to yours. A bug in HN's truncation, I guess?

    Yep, must be.. I doubled up the period in my comment and it looks like that fixed it.
