There are regulated monopolies. (For example, power companies.) They aren't illegal.

There are some business practices that are illegal, but the companies themselves are not.

That's a good point. There are regulated monopolies. But if a monopoly does not have specific legal endorsement to operate (eg NFL, power company for a region, etc) then it is illegal.
