"[...] their strength in the X market to gain an advantage in the Y market."
Isn't that pretty much Google's business plan?
Except Google doesn't have any monopolies, so it's legal.
Maybe, but that goes to show the definition of monopoly is hazy at the best of times.
It's hazy at the worst of times. At the best of times, it's very obvious, like Microsoft in the late 90s.
