[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 9228026, member: 2525"] Look, if there are three "major offenders" then there are zero monopolies. That's what's called a normal industry. You grew up with NBC, CBS, and ABC as the big three. Even when UPN and Fox came around, they were miniscule. A big three for an industry is a perfectly normal industry. In the industry my company is in, there is a big two. Your personal standard for what is acceptable is not a substitute for the actual legal requirements of a monopoly. Disney isn't a monopoly, they're not even close, and they are not even the top of their own industry and are under constant threat from not just the top of that industry but from new players in that industry like Google. Heck, if WB and Paramount and Discovery and HBO all fold under one umbrella and expand Pluto with it, Disney is likely going to take a major hit and there will suddenly be a big four instead of a big three. And then Google might jump in with their free TV and maybe combine with Peacock. None of this is "Disney too big!" type news. It's just that they own franchises you are close to, like Lucasfilm and Pixar and Marvel. Which are fine franchises but are tiny relative the full expansiveness of that industry. [/QUOTE]
