"The publishers" is not a group of happy friends. They are in the same market, they should be each others greatest enemy. The moment thats not the case, you can be sure there will be an anti-trust investigation. Anti-trust isn't about whats right or wrong or visionary or faulty, it's not even about whose responsibility it really is, if their actions created a situation where competition subsided and prices raised, theres damage and fault.
