       There was a time when a boycot of Hachette, HarperCollins, Penguin Random House, and Wiley, would have seemed impossible. But we live in an internet age.I spent most of my career around publishing. They like to see themselves as innovative custodians of knowledge, but they're not. Instead they're an industry of legal departments that happens to produce a few books, and their gravy train has been shunted into a siding.Don't buy your information from them. It's all  available elsewhere now.

       The legal departments thing is not a joke. I suspect if they all didn't spend so much effort on lawyers sueing each other, they'd make more money. But it's such a deeply entrenched culture.
