It’s already the case that many of the people involved in publishing an article are unpaid. Authors and peer reviewers are not paid (indeed authors may have to pay for open access). Editors are sometimes paid. There are professionals employed by the publisher – copy editors, typesetters(?), etc – who are compensated, though it is not clear they are providing that much value.
Legal academic scholarships is much small and less relevant than science scholarship. The legal publishing that matters is done by the government -- courts and legislatures.
