Go to Amazon.com. Search for any publication by Macmillan, one of the world's largest publishing firms. The Prince of Silicon Valley, perhaps, or Sarah's Key. Or last year's huge #1 bestseller The Gathering Storm.
No details, and everyone seems to be staying quiet - sounds like one of those periodic royalty rate battles to me...
