Disney did spin Movies Anywhere off into it's own company, and my understanding is that the five major studios more or less have equal authority over it. Of course, that five major studios is about to become four, and it does seem like they're gatekeeping out smaller players from participating at this juncture.

Impending monopoly abuse lawsuit?

But there's 5 (Soon 4) studios, that doesn't sound like a monopoly. Oligopoly and immoral sure, but I don't think most laws will help here.

It could potentially be... I think a "trust" is the term? Basically, my understanding is that if you control the market by working with others, it still counts because you're still unfairly gaming the market by collectively leveraging your market share. Very much not a lawyer, so I might be mistaken.
