The day this happens is the day books will be sold a thousand dollars apiece cause there will be no other way to get them. We'll be at the total mercy of the big 6 as you call them. And we'll have to read what they say we can and when they say we can and at the price they say.
Reminds me of the movies back in the 80's when it could be 2 sometimes 3 years before we saw a movie hit the big screen here after its release in the US because there was no alternative.
And NO this is not off-topic, you can't look at one side of the story without looking at the other.
