But that is exactly what this campaign is: a political exercise.
Hachette CEO Nouri announced last year the intent to try to get government action in the US to legalize and mandate price fixing of books.
That is why the "free speech" lynching party was held in DC and not in NY.
Its just a PR campaign to provide cover for politician action.
