Without any contact to the reality?

GO look up wikipedia Monopoly. It says this:

A government-granted monopoly or legal monopoly, by contrast, is sanctioned by the state, often to provide an incentive to invest in a risky venture or enrich a domestic interest group. Patents, copyrights, and trademarks are sometimes used as examples of government-granted monopolies. The government may also reserve the venture for itself, thus forming a government monopoly.[citation needed]

If you follow through and aren't a complete idiot, to Government-Granted monopoly (the hyperlink is built into the article, idiot)

In economics, a government-granted monopoly (also called a "de jure monopoly") is a form of coercive monopoly by which a government grants exclusive privilege to a private individual or firm to be the sole provider of a good or service; potential competitors are excluded from the market by law, regulation, or other mechanisms of government enforcement. As a form of coercive monopoly, government-granted monopoly is contrasted with a non-coercive monopoly or an efficiency monopoly, where there is no competition but it is not forcibly excluded. Amongst forms of coercive monopoly it is distinguished from government monopoly or state monopoly (in which government agencies hold the legally enforced monopoly rather than private individuals or firms) and from government-sponsored cartels (in which the government forces several independent producers to partially coordinate their decisions through a centralized organization). Advocates for government-granted monopolies often claim that they ensure a degree of public control over essential industries, without having those industries actually run by the state. Opponents often criticize them as political favors to corporations. Government-granted monopolies may be opposed by those who would prefer free markets as well as by those who would prefer to replace private corporations with public ownership.

Contact to "the" reality? You're here denying that there's no monopolizing on ideas when that is exactly what it is described as and that is not some exaggeration however mild because by function, or in other words HOW IT WORKS (idiot) is by exclusive right, which in the sense of exclusive right over making money from an idea is EXACTLY (idiot, there is no argument or interpretation or misunderstanding, it's an interchangeable context) what MONOPOLIZING (the FUNCTION) MEANS (DEFINITION, MEANING).
