"Commercial publishers prefer institutions to sign up to a leasing #subscription model, as they offer little in the way of perpetual rights. This means that if a #Library decides to cancel, they have no owned content to show for their expenditure."

It found market distortions but decided 𝘯𝘰𝘵 to act — because of the then-recent rise of #OpenAccess. "It is too early to assess what will be the impact of this [digital publishing & access] but there is a possibility that it will be a powerful restraint on exploiting positional advantage in the STM journals market."
