The established publishing “vampires” such as :

Elsevier

RELX plc (the abomination created from merging Reed International and Elsevier)

John Wiley & Sons (another gluttonous monstrosity acquiring anything and everything on its path)

Springer

Taylor & Francis

Allen Press

etc…

Will never let go of their grip on their oligopoly unless suitable legislation is in place forcing publicly funded research, studies, discoveries or developments to remain within the confines of public domain in perpetuity (or freely accessible national/academic archives in case of predefined sensitive research).
