You're crazy. AOL doesn't have a monopoly on IM.
The fact that Microsoft says THEY have more IM users
(whether they're lying or not) illustrates AOL isn't
a monopoly.
And there's nothing illegal about constantly changing
your own proprietary protocol. Maybe it's not the best
use of your time, but it's certainly not illegal.
