Robert Darnton, an accomplished scholar and important name in the open access movement, has a piece in the current _New York Review of Books_, [The Library: Three Jeremiads](http://www.nybooks.com/articles/archives/2010/dec/23/library-three-jeremiads/), where he mentions that > publishers usually insist on keeping the terms [of any library's subscriptions to their journals] secret, so that one library cannot negotiate for cheaper rates by citing an advantage obtained by another library. A recent court case in the state of Washington makes it seem possible that publishers will no longer be able to prevent the circulation of information about their contracts What was the court case, and does the judgement suggest that there will be better information about journal subscription prices in future?
