Thanks for the article. It's a sad state of affairs in Australian publishing industry if the government has to step in to tell them how to do their business.
I think the government should probably do something about the parallel import legislation which was passed not so long ago. The publishers certainly don't want to see this go away. If the government is serious about putting pressure on the publishers, they should threaten to remove parallel import protections.
