It was not available here. I assume because of the new information laws of EU.
But in that, they are not to admit they are wrong, they are out to show others are. And the others will not lose their seats if this is a real deal by recogning it as such. Being the first of some stature to do it would be beneficial.

Also, the idea that the journals would do nothing but receive the papers and then sell them for money is very, very far from the truth, at least in experimental sciences. While the scientific starting idea comes from our side, the final paper is a co-operative process in which they have a very big part.
To start with, the journals have a structure of the papers that they have designed, and we

Thanks! Ok, there seems to be a small additional pay-per-view cost in at least some of those packages, on top of the price of the subscription. But the around 6 dollars is quite far from what has been under discussion here.

Here in Finland we pay nothing (one can argue about the details, but most of us have had restaurant bills bigger than the overall cost), we get paid to study, most of our rent is paid for us.

Just to clarify what I said before, Kari Enqvist (a professor of mine when I was still in particle physics) wrote after Hawkings dead that he was held in a very high regard among the peers, but still as one of them, not above them. After the conference talks, they would still sit in a pub around the table for some beers as equals, making many bad jokes as many of us do.
