Having onoccasion paid up online for an academic paper at an exorbitant price I concur withthe gist of George Monbiot's article cited by Karl Wuensch: http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2011/aug/29/academic-publishers-murdoch-socialist However, thisstatement does not represent the full facts about the paywall in relation tothe Times and Sunday Times: "Youmight resent Murdoch's paywall policy, in which he charges £1 for 24 hours ofaccess to the Times and Sunday Times." This is thecase for people without a subscription who want to access specific articles,but the basic subscription covering both the Times and Sunday Times (which havedifferent editors and journalists) is £2 per week. (The Sunday Times alonecosts £2.50.)
