I think the problem is that the law is likely to be applied differently to big organisations compared to individuals or smaller organisations, and that the intended purpose of copyright is mostly forgotten.
It was meant to protect creators ability to earn from what they produce for a while so that they would be encouraged to create and share with the world.
Big orgs monopolising access to scientific writing is not what it was for, and it definitely was not meant to have exceptions that let big orgs ignore the rights if creators in order to build software that then endangers the ability of individual creators to earn from what they create.
