Some open access journals waive the fees for any authors who are not able to pay, removing this argument as a downside to the producer pays model for open access. In the user pays model there are similar fees *per institution* for having the privilege of limited *access* to some single journals for a single year, so the argument can easily be reversed. I guess you already know what happens when you actually try to download all of the articles for a journal you have *access* to on JSTOR.
