The scientists are the ones with the power. If they want their journal articles to be free to the world, they can opt to choose that path from the beginning. But if they choose the old school model, well, they should own up to the decision. Too many scientists I know like to throw up their hands and blame the publishers, but they're the ones with the power to choose.
