A monopoly is merely having sufficient market share. Which isn't necessarily bad, although it usually is. What you're talking about is abusing a monopoly.

- alnayyir 16y ago>A monopoly is merely having sufficient market share It's not, but it's clear that the legal nature of it seems to be besides the point. Who needs rule of law when you have uninformed opinion being passed around the campfire?
- AlisdairO 16y agothere's quite a well cited wikipedia article that appears to disagree with you: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopoly http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopoly . I'm very open to being shown different sources and proven wrong, however.
- alnayyir 16y agoGoogle doesn't have a market-share that constitutes monopoly in anything, especially in a market (search) where the switch cost is nothing. You'd be closer to the mark accusing the iPhone of having a monopoly on telephony simply because it costs money to buy a different one.
