It appears you didn't hear the biggest shocker of them all; one does not need to have an outright monopoly to be in a dominant position, able to abuse its power in a market.

I know, shocker.




As my words make quite clear (despite the downvotes), I'm only talking about the use of the word "monopoly" in a context where it should not be used.

You want to gripe about supposed abuse of market power, even though that's a weak argument that is not supported by the facts? Go right ahead.


Is Apple abusing its power by keeping its fee the same as it has been forever?
