Large publishers have argued that if they have to renegotiate over electronic publication rights, they probably will remove a substantial amount of material from their electronic databases. "Historians, scholars and the public lose because of the holes in history created by the removal of these articles from electronic issues of newspapers such as the Times," said New York Times chairman Arthur Sulzberger Jr. The ruling will affect primarily content written before the mid 1990s, which most publishers updated their contracts to include electronic as well as print publishing rights. The National Writers Union, however, estimates a range of potential liabilities between $2.5 billion and $600 billion. The decision in this case could have broad ramifications in similar disputes in the book and music publishing businesses.

One newsletter publisher said sympathetically: "It doesn't really make sense to offer free services anymore on the Internet. It's about revenue now, and if it's not revenue-generating, there's no value from a business perspective."
