Science business

It's definitely sure that this business is creating digital divide. Articles and journals which are expensive are not accessible for poor countries and digital divide enlarges. I really like Soros activity in Open Access Initative and also I sort of understand the opposites. Ofcourse if professors spend lot of time by writing those articles they need to get payed etc. This cannot be totally free, but can be supported. I would see it as opening doors for universities and other learning institutes for gaining read access with lower bugets.
