As I said, technically a monopoly.

Fox + ABC is pretty big, but I don't see Disney being the same as a Google or Microsoft monopoly.

Please. You are correct but you need to be informed and eloquent about it. Google “enjoys an 89.2% share of the market for general search services, which increases to 94.9% on mobile devices,” according to the most recent judge to rule against them (it was a 270 page ruling so I can't blame you for not reading it).

Intellectual property rights do not a monopoly make. Unfair practices (like requiring webpages to conform to a new standard like google amp or not get boosted in search) make the monopoly.

Intellectual property rights are a government sanctioned monopoly over certain ideas.

But I totally agree that IP is not something that the monopolies and mergers commission will investigate.
