anti-trust laws are there to prevent an usurption of the enterprise system by allowing one group to dictate terms to the market, thereby being anti-capitalism which thrives on the concept of supply and demand. Monopolies on their own are not illegal. Monopolies that harm the economy *are* illegal. A good example is the Standard Oil company, that controlled petroleum refining throughout the US. Due to Standard Oil's stranglehold on oil refining, other markets, such as automobiles and railroads, were being choked to death. This is not capitalism, this is not supply and demand, and it is unhealthy to let continue.
