One thing I've been noticing with arguments against this lawsuit is that people are saying "If prices are too high, just buy from another publisher." The thing is that it just doesn't work that way with books. If I want to read Moby Dick but I think the price is too high, I'm boned. That publisher owns that specific book, and I can't just get a knockoff book. There's only one Moby Dick. They are the gatekeepers to that intellectual property.
