The Times Higher Ed recently published an article about this suit. It has the following, spot on, quote:
“The for-profit academic publishing industry is in the business of exploiting the goodwill and hard work of brilliant scholars, and of taxpayers who foot the bill to create their product,” Dean Harvey, a partner at Lieff Cabraser, said in a news release.
The full complaint in the lawsuit is at the link below. IMHO, it is time that the academic publishing industry is challenged on their exploitative business model.
