Hah - keeping some parasite's wine cellar very well-stocked no doubt. Not only does this rip off universities (which in most countries also means the taxpayer), it seriously limits access to information for citizens. Many more ordinary people access academic journal articles than I suspect research institutions fully realise. This is particularly true for legal and medical journals, access to which does have real (sometimes life-saving) effects.
