With Sony getting a shitstorm over shifting to selling digital and revocable licenses instead actual products, what are academics' reactions to the big publishers doing the same with their articles?
This week, Sony customers lost access to hundreds of 'their' digital movies and from 2028, Sony will not sell any physical copies of games anymore. Academic publishers have been doing the same, taking the knowledge hostage to ask libraries for ridiculous subscription costs. So what have the academic reactions been in your point of view?
