A number of societies I am a member of depend on journal revenue for a substantial portion of their activities.

And yet there are whole fields that are dominated by open-access journals; presumably they also have societies, and those societies have found alternate business models.

That someone is going to be forced to change their business model does not strike me as a compelling argument for the current system.

Maybe that is a serious problem.
