Ah ha! The LJ is on it's toes, although they don't go so far as to outright call applesauce on the lame excuse for the mystical 26.
Yes, Publishers, we understand that your content is licensed. But by god, do you really have to reinforce the fact that we are all the consumer equivalent of poodles trained to jump through hoops?! The tricks they are a tirin'.
Truly, in the face of content licenses we are all the brown stuff that needs to be scraped from the publishers boot.
