OK, let's make a societal deal. The publishers can have collusion as long as they agree that their CEO's be paid no more than 20 times the average salary of their employees, that CEO's are only permitted the same T&E and per diem expenses as their other employees, that they commute to work by subway or cab like their other employees and that they participate only in health and pension schemes available to every company employee. And that the publishers commit to donate at least 20% of their pre-tax profits to charity every year.
All CEO's in favour of a higher societal good - Vote "Aye".
