Again, it's very easy to find these papers. There are subreddits where people will post any paper you ask for, also there are IRC channels that will do the same. But for most stuff, you can very easily find it yourself in <1m. I agree that the papers should be free, but in practice, the fact that the papers are not free isn't that big of a deal since they are so easy to get anyways for free.

Yes, lets promote illegal behavior. There is a short story by Cory Doctorow called "The Things that Make Me Weak and Strange Get Engineered Away" and it makes a great point about the kind of thing you are suggesting. Here is a link to it
