Any chance these publishers can band together union style for better leverage? I'd guess that the sheer number of publishers would make this not possible.

- jrockway 15y agoIPG is about to learn that one can publish an ebook without a distribution middleman taking most of the money. (Think about the authors here. Amazon takes 30% of the money that goes to the distributor. The distributor takes 30% or more of that money. The publisher takes 30% or more of that money. And finally, a few cents are left over for the guy who wrote the book. How sorry I feel for IPG...)
- bwarp 15y agoSounds like the recording industry as well! Actually all middle-men!
- yummyfajitas 15y agoThis would probably be illegal under anti-collusion statutes. Similarly, Apple, Dell and Lenovo can't legally form an agreement between themselves to double the price of all computers.
