A) that in itself shows that the whole rigmarole of ostensibly assigning sole copyright to these "journals" is a ridiculously unnecessary charade, and

B) Where are you going to get their contact information from? There would need to be aome centralised registry to connect scientific subjects to author details, Idunno, like some kind of... "Journal" or something?

C) And if you're already going to such a place anyway, then the actual content of the articles could also be there for everyone to read directly, without having to bother the authors with correspondence.

What you're defending is a humongous stupid Rube Goldberg boondoggle.
