That's just not true. When you abuse the power, the abuse itself is
illegal, but it doesn't make the monopoly itself illegal. This is like
saying a person who uses his bat to hit people has an "illegal bat".
When you say "it only become illegal", you are just being vague. Nothing
becomes illegal. The abuse is illegal, but it never was legal.
