To respond to your points: no one ever said that publishers don't need money. But they aren't making money off grad students, and it was a person who works for a publisher who came here to shame a grad student asking for a PDF.
Lucy, I don't know what you're trying to convince me of. I agree with you, and as I have said to Caroline and others that if they have an issue with their staff being paid then it's on universities, not grad students.

I think the better question - as academic publishing is clearly not working for *anyone* - is "what are those in the industry doing to change it, other than yelling at random grad students at the sharpest edge of it?"

Well, and also, how can we *all* change publishing? I think?
