Monopoly is semantically not very complicated. It's a fairly simple economic principle:

- Monopoly = Exclusive control of supply

- Monopsony = Exclusive control of demand

If you want to redefine it to popular things, you should reflect on your motivation to do so.

You might want to reflect on why you want anti-trust law to only apply to the strict definition of a monopoly. That's why it's called "anti-trust" not "anti-monopoly".
