ABSTRACTThe examination of publishing empires as paralleled by their geopolitical counterparts continues. The transition from a print-based industry into the digital era opened up new opportunities to build a corporate empire that intentionally seeks dominance and market control. As the biggest publishing corporations maneuvered for self-interests, their researcher and library customers have pushed back with sometimes clandestine responses to register their opposition, just as peasantry periodically revolted in previous eras.
