Okay sure, having fewer book publishers and distributors increases competition and revenue for authors? Not to mention the increased ability to control narratives. Alex Jones’s book was selling quite well but dropped out of sight and off book selling lists. The distributor is Simon and Schuster, currently the subject of the article. (The judge handling the antitrust suit is a recent Biden appointment with a law degree from Stanford and undergraduate degree from University of Pennsylvania.)
Will the blackmail and coercion stop? Of course not, its “part and parcel” of the entertainment industry.
