Sure, but they pay editors and typesetters and people who nag reviewers 
and all the other people who turn random papers into journals that are 
worth reading.

I happen to agree that the prices that academic journal publishers charge 
are ridiculous, but so long as academics keep sending papers to those 
journals and agreeing to review for those journals, the publishers have no 
incentive to change.  This is not a problem that any bulletproof pirate 
DNS, no matter how clever, can address.

So as I said, blockchain DNS solves no real world problem.  I hope we can 
go back to the real DNS now.

R's,
