"What would stop journals from blacklisting scientists who publish their articles under open access laws?" I think there would just be far too many of them. Moreover, the Scientists could feign that they were not possibly involved in the alternative distribution of it. I think 'blacklisting' would be an aggressive posture, and likely viewed as unethical, it's not something they could likely get away with. I think the 'prestige' of being published in Nature etc. will outweigh most concerns.
