IEEE standards

Suppose I want to acquire some IEEE Standard Documents without paying for them.

IK there is no easy way, but considering that there might be some secluded release group on EFnet. Assuming it exists I might be willing to go into all the troubles with tunneled a bnc and stuff.

What are my chances to get V& and are the people I would have to get in touch with exposing themselves to it?

Yes, I agree it's not wrong. However, the authors of that publication do not want that information in the general public as is their right under the Berne convention inspired copyright law. I'd like it in the public but that's the rules; it's your own responsibility to play within the rules or lobby to get the rules changed.

Ok, that is professional level knowledge (even if you are a hobbyist). While I wish you well in that endeavour, you'll have to either pay for that access or ask someone else for that access (which is exactly what you're doing here). You should've originally stated which standard you're after and for which purpose you intend to use it.

I would prefer the original paper as I often had to ask EE friends who had intimate understanding of the work I did. The wikipedia articles were good enough in pointing me to which questions I would need to ask them.
