I've been a member of ACM and other orgs off and on for many years, with 
access to their publications being a key draw.  ACM Interactions 
magazine remains one of the finest periodicals in the UX field.


But in recent years it occurred to me that much of the research I'm most 
interested in is done at universities that receive subsidies, grants, 
tax breaks, and other forms of public money, so it seems reasonable that 
the public should have access to the research they're paying to support.


Seems I'm not alone - here in California we've begun enacting provisions 
for this:



There's interest in expanded that on the US federal level:


The EU appears to be seeking an arguably broader mandate by 2020:


This may represent a hardship for some orgs whose membership is driven 
by publication access.  But we understand that the Internet is a 
disruptive force which eases distribution of electronic media, 
compelling all media toward disintermediation.  These orgs will need to 
seek out new ways to deliver value for their members, or perhaps be 
replaced by new alternatives more with the flow of our modern times.


In the end we find the tragedy of Aaron Swartz' legal problems were 
ultimately merely that he was several years ahead of his time.

When I was suscribed to ISTE and IEEE, one of the most useful services
they offered was access to many paywalled libraries and documents.

Unfortunately, the Special Interest Group (SIG) that I choose in ISTE
was mostly inactive: HyperSIG

The article PDF in question has this:

"Permission to make digital or hard copies of all or part of this work for 
personal or classroom use is granted without fee provided that copies are not 
made or distributed for profit or commercial advantage and that copies bear 
this notice and the full citation on the first page.”

So, here it is, but don’t sell it:

It was available a couple of weeks ago.

Now, online copyright infringement is a terrible thing, and so I very 
strongly recommend that you do not visit https://moscow.sci-hub.ac/, and 
don't type "Flipping the Assessment of Cognitive Load: Why and How" into 
its search box, and _definitely_ don't click the button with a picture 
of a key next to it.


After all, anyone would agree that the amount that academic publishers 
charge for access to the articles they publish is totally reasonable, 
considering that the great costs of getting researchers to write papers 
(for free) and getting other researchers to review them (also for free).


So I strongly recommend that you go ahead and pay the very modest $15 
that the ACM are asking for.  How else than by charging for each and 
every download of every publication can they further their stated 
purpose of "... serving both professional and public interests by 
fostering the open interchange of information..."?
