Yes, but. Read the information on the web site in question. Essentially, personal use is permitted without a subscription. But it's a little more complex than that. Still as I read it, a user could aid another who was not "a subscribing institution" to read the material, *provided*. And the essence is that it is for personal use, not for profit, and not to avoid an institutional subscription fee being paid.
Given that I am not about to pay an institutional subscription fee, not being an institution (though sometimes being ready for one :-), and I have no ready access to a subscribing institution, my reading is that provision of the pdf to me would be lawful. And to be unlawful, the unlawfulness must be clear.
I'd like that pdf too. And I won't begin to address the common law issues around copyright. ---- Election-methods mailing list - see http://electorama.com/em for list info
