I hate the paywalls as well. Personally, if I've written something and
someone wants it, I just give it to them. Most decent authors I've
encountered do the same.

Paywalls where the money goes to people who did nothing of significance to
advance the published works are the bane of scientific research. Sci hub
is a useful crutch until we fix this mess. If you want to follow the
letter of the law, don't follow these links.
Cheers,
