and I have issues about buying them in either hard-copy or electronic format
Same. I mean, academics is partially made on journal publications, so in a way people are getting 'paid' for their work (via promotion, etc), but it does bother me that publishers are increasingly cutting back print, just making them available online, saving money this way, and then complaining about losing control of the articles! ACK!
