    This makes Anna’s archive a bit problematic with that logic since when you pay for a paper you get a PDF copy?

      I would consider it more problematic if the author of the paper got any of that and not the journal the author had to pay to be published

      These companies maintain that even though you possess a PDF, you still do not own it and do not have the rights associated with ownership.
