great idea! 2 hours at €200 per hour makes €1000 - sounds like an eminently reasonable starting point for negotiations. if the publishers don't like our price, they can do the reviewing themselves - and after a while no one will bother to buy the resulting rubbish anyhow! in the mean time we put our stuff online directly (without wasting our time, for example, still formatting reference lists in the 21st century!). we have them over a barrel. the only problem i see is how to get grants without papers in Nature. anyone have a solution to that one?
one final aspect is: who gets the money? surely the universities etc. should get it, not us: the taxpayer pays us already. 
best,
jon

The one I don't get is why not pay reviewers? $1000 per review? If you look at publishers' profit margins, you will see that they can afford it. I actually think the scientific community should go on a "review strike" until reviewers get paid.

Indeed! Scientists in the Soviet Bloc got paid for publishing their scientific papers (and maybe for citations as well - not sure about that one)! We need to change the current system! Although these changes could be accompanied by many other pleasant virtues of the Soviet regime.
