If you message the authors of research papers, 9 times out of 10, they'll be more than happy to share their papers with you for free.

They're just happy someone is taking an interest in their work, and they're not being paid to distribute it anyway.

A lot of authors also post archive versions of their papers just before they submit it for review too.
