I assume most people in academia have a friend with a JSTOR
subscription who emails them requested pdfs as a favor.  I know a
couple of people who help me out that way.  If JSTOR thinks the
average researcher is going to pay the equivalent of a restaurant meal
just to read a single article, they've been drinking the music
industry's Kool-Aid.
