I disagree with him (and with the excellent LSE blog on SciHub) that it's a failure of publishing.  I think it's more a failure of promotion/tenure to have kept pace with a rapidly changing scholarly communications environment. If you're going to be graded on publications then people going to want to publish, Adam Smith's invisible hand is going to meet that market demand.
