Great news, but I wished the article went into more detail about the original lawsuit and the strategy used to win the case.
To me, the big story in all of this is Elsevier’s "package sales strategy". They are a much bigger foe, so accusing them of wrong doings directly would be a much bigger fight. Their dominance in the industry will hopefully soon evaporate.
Yes -- if it weren't for the package sales strategy, this loser with his own journal would be writing for no one but himself (and I'm sure Elsevier wouldn't pay him to do that).
This is a great example of how Elsevier uses its position in the industry to extract money from universities far out of proportion to the value they provide. I hope academia gets fed up with this soon and stops paying.
