Entertainment companies are morally bankrupt because of how much they take from the people actually doing work to give to CEOs. I don't care if people get that content for free since nearly none of the revenue will go towards the creators. But they are at least somewhat reimbursing the labor that goes into the content.
The academic journals do not do any work whatsoever and charge absolutely absurd prices for access. They get free peer review from the community, they certainly don't write any of the content. It is a moral imperative to prevent them from profiting off of other people's work. Hope they lose all their ill-gotten gains.
