Sure it is. Subscriptions are mostly paid for by institutions, rather than individuals. Any given article effectively has a monopoly on it's own content, so once a university has subscribed and the profs are used to getting free access to that content, it's politically difficult for the university to un-subscribe. Then the journal incrementally increases the prices. Soon, the university's accounting department is on the losing end of a frog-boil.

The more widely-accepted term for nondestructive appropriation of creative content is 'piracy.'
It's not one I accept. I think it's a very bad analogy, and refuse to use the word with that meaning.

Vocabulary absolutely can be creative content -- boiling something down to a few words is a difficult art.
I would agree with it not being covered by various intellectual property laws.
We have no disagreement here.
I just want to call someone a frog-boiler.
