I don't agree with what Elsevier and Springer are doing but asking scientists to rectify the problem is the wrong thing. The decision needs to be legislated. No scientist or grad student is going to put their careers or PhD at risk for this. I wouldn't. fwiw - when I was a grad student I had access to these journals through my university library.
