I mean, they don’t, exclusively, or no-one would be giving money to JSTOR. And certainly, no-one would be scanning millions of old journal articles for free.

Comparatively few individuals are giving money to JSTOR these days.

Mostly institutions that they’ve previously captured.

And yes: not sure how you missed it, but for like a decade or more people have been scanning in millions of papers and books.

    I don't know where people get the idea that JSTOR is one of the bad guys. It's a non-profit that scans old journal articles that would otherwise be a huge pain to access. It costs money to do that. What specifically have they done that you disapprove of?
