I believe that these people need to look up the definition of monopoly. A quick google returns the following:MONOPOLY: a monopoly (from the Greek monos, one + polein, to sell) is defined as a persistent market situation where there is only one provider of a kind of product or service
It would seem that there are many MP3 players and many music providers (services) available to everyone. While Apple ties iTunes to its iPod to have the best user experience, the user can use another music service or another hardware solution (maybe not easily but it can be done). The same can be said about Zune.
The biggest concern about any monopoly is whether or not it is stifling competition. This does not appear to be the case as there are new services and hardware appearing all of the time.
More lawyers trying to make a buck.
