Perhaps if enough libraries drop this subscription, it would get the publisher's attention?

I also reached a dead end when trying to revise those statements in the Economist license.  We have not had online access to the Economist since it was dropped from the EBSCO database.  I have had no complaints.  The title was used when we had online access and I know that convenience is a driving force for article choices.  Our students are either taking advantage of what is available on the Economist website for free or they are choosing another source.  Since the Economist is not willing to revise their license agreement so that it is more library friendly, I have decided to spend my money on something else.
