Google makes one move regarding Web Advertising (Google being close to monopoly in that sector) and you have even the DoF on their ass.
Apple (perhaps a complete monopoly on online and digital music distribution outside of .tor and P2P services) acquires an online music company and no one raises an eyebrow.
@Tyler Sebastian: apple does not have a stranglehold on digitial music distribution.
not every ipod owner purchases music, let alone purchase from itunes.
i use amazon a lot more than itunes, because amazon usually has the better price, and sometimes, they even have what itunes doesn't. although that last point goes both ways, unfortunately.
@sweenish: Because I've never heard of anyone close or far from me say, "Oh, I like that song, I'm going to go buy it on Amazon, eMusic, Rhapsody, etc."
With the number of iPods out there, iTunes is sure to have the largest share of online music distribution. It's the easiest stop for anyone with an iPod. (Plug in, click store, download music)

"Because I've never heard of anyone close or far from me say, "Oh, I like that song, I'm going to go buy it on Amazon, eMusic, Rhapsody, etc.""
.....I believe the correct answer is "The FTC is less than concerned with your anecdotal evidence of a monopoly."
The fact that you've never heard of anyone who buys music on Amazon or Rhapsody doesn't mean they don't exist.
*buys music on Amazon*
