No, they aren't free "as in beer". They are still subject to the normal PACER charges.

What "normal PACER charges?" PACER only charges per page viewed and per search. Creating a PACER account is free. The system seems to be set up so you can search written opinions and view the results for free: http://cincinnatilaw.blogspot.com/2006/02/federal-district-c.... Charges are only incurred if you search by docket, etc.

Depending on the version you get, and which district court, you will get charged per page for viewing opinions.

You've pointed out one particular district court that seems to have upgraded to solve that problem. Not all have.
