I have replied there:

(i) The button is making scholars to beggars.
(ii) There is evidence that asking directly the author is more
successful. Having used the button without success a following direct
mail would diminish the chances.
(iii) My own experiences with the button (for test purposes) have
shown that the success rate is low.
(iv) DON'T LET THE AUTHOR DECIDE IF DARK OR OPEN. If there are no
cogent copyright reasons DON'T ACCEPT dark deposits.
(v) DON'T ACCEPT DARK DEPOSITS WITHOUT FIXED EMBARGO TERM.
