Yes, it does seem that these publishers and libraries, as keepers of the flame for so long have gotten it into their heads that this is how it has been and will always be, most certainly not the case.
Disintermediation? Interesting that most definitions of the word are from economics, the transfer of monies into more profitable systems. When we finally abandon copyright, can you just imagine the restructuring!! |
