I am not so sure.  I just finished looking at tables of contents from
the Springer Preview Service - they also sell access to abstracts from their
journals.  As far as I understand from the original posting, TOC's and
abstracts are free for searching and there is a cost for getting articles.
Frankly, there is a lot being given free here.  Perhaps we have a grey area 
here.
