I wondered if it was just a misunderstanding by the OP but it's the same language on JSTOR's site:

>> "Register & Read Beta is a new, experimental program to offer free, read-online access to individual scholars..."
I dont think it's too geeky to point out that the use of "read-online access" indicates a poor understanding of digital tech and rights management and the web in general. Reminds me of the article posted the other day about how the no-fly list might be circumventable with a DOM editor.

Although DRM can be circumvented by cutting and pasting, the hassle of doing so on an academic article would soon reach the point where the average academic would rather just pay the damn fee to download a copy. At least I know I would, and I've paid a fair bit to JSTOR this past year...
