Similarly, the editorial board of the Journal of Algorithms stepped down in unison and started the ACM Transactions on Algorithms, in protest against Elsevier, back in 2003.
Don Knuth, founder of the JoA, had a hand in it. Wish this happened even more often - without the scientists (and the prestige/impact factor endowed by the scientific community), the publishers have nothing. Don Knuth's letter (typeset in TeX, of course) is well worth a read [1], and since then the situation has only gotten worse, I think.

Ceterum censeo Elsevier esse delendum.
