If anyone should be prosecuted, it's politicians like Barney Frank and Chris Dodd, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iW5qKYfqALE Their policies encouraged banks to relax lending standards and lend to people that could not afford it. Bottom line, they presided over one of the largest collapses of wealth in American history with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

If the publishing industry has anyone with half a brain working for them, they should see themselves going the way of the music industry. They need to innovate fast. Open source books are only part of the problem (and by problem, I mean only their problem). It is becoming easier and easier to find torrents to download full color versions of many of the most popular textbooks.
