> I'm not sure there's a good way of limiting how much companies are allowed to charge for a service.

That of course depends on one's subjective notion of "good". There are multiple ways of doing it. I like the one you suggest if the amount we are talking about is a round zero.

> I'm also not sure what you're suggesting with "exercise their copyrights on prestigious journal title".

If the members of a journal's scientific board decide they want to go full real open access (with no costs for readers nor authors), they have to abandon to name of the journal and the associated impact factor and reputation that they build together with their work over the years, because the publisher owns the journal even though it is the board members who did all the work (as part of their job as researchers, paid by the state or a uni for example, not by the publisher).

That's one of the reseaons why the movement for open access and the movement against the use of bibliometrics should unite.

Thanks for the disclaimer.
