I was under the impression that universities and such organisation
have institutional subscriptions where their members can access the
articles, but not at a per-article rate but some other negotiated
rate, or flat rate. I'm sure there are details on the JSTOR website.
So people probably are reading the article in question, but not at the
per-article rate.
