Gods but the fees for accessing some of this stuff is obscene. On article I was looking for today, ten pages of a journal that hasn't been in print for ten years, the fuckers wanted £34.00 just for one day's access to the pdf version. I wonder how much of that, had I been daft enough to pay it, would get back to the authors. Pretty sure it'd be exactly zero. Less than zero in fact, as they'll presumably be getting fewer readers, fewer citations and less professional kudos than they'd get if the article were free to access.
I know there's technically a difference between how academic publishing works and outright theft, I just can't remember what that difference is.
