Again, that is your opinion. But why do you feel compelled to defend the 
copyright of an organization you don't work for? Is Nature paying you to 
enforce their copyright? Did it ever occurr to you that perhaps Nature 
wants people to share articles on lists?

Stop being such a legalist literalist!

Are you another barrier to information like most librarians are these days?
