Segments of the publishing industry are urging their constituents (employees?) to write to the Department of Justice and protest the lawsuit over the agency model. The latest to join in is the head of one of the New York literary agencies, who claims that even if collusion occurred, the public wasn't harmed because books are fungible.

As Joe Konrath points out, no-one in this writing campaign seems to be urging their customers (you know, those of us who actually buy and read their products) to join in.

So anyone who is miffed because the NYT bestsellers suddenly went up from $9.99 to $12.99 might want to add their voice and write to the DOJ

Joe has the address halfway down his blog post...
