Ah yes, the science publishing problem. It's even worse than this, since it encourages publication quantity over quality, which leads to an alarming amount of junk science masquerading as facts.
It isn't just professors. It's people mentioned in the rsx paper. Usually masters students.
I have never denied someone who has emailed me a free copy of the literature I've been cited in. Nor have any of my colleagues. We don't get paid when people buy it, so fuck em.
Just a quick check, is this location based or something, or maybe the meme was very old? Not to say that these things don’t happen anymore, but I can access this one specifically just fine.
Yep, I looked it up in the US and I could access it fine. I also tried it with my VPN set to the following countries and none of them needed a subscription: Canada, Mexico, Czechia, India, Singapore, Australia.

You'll own nothing, you'll access nothing, and you'll be happy and pay for it...

Just email the authors of the article directly and ask it from them.
Probably more than happy to send it to you.
