Springer ‘Open Access’ Scam?

Leiter calls attention to what appears to be an exploitative publishing endeavor at Springer. Find out about it HERE. It seems to me that this is just a pay-to-publish scam which preys on vulnerable academics and gives open access a bad name. Open access should be open at both ends, I think, open reading and open/free publishing (to the extent possible).
