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?

This thread was quite useful to me. I used to be pissed about paywalls preventing me from reading interesting papers, books and standards and having to resort to searching for pirated  copies of them on the Internet, many times with success, but not always, if it was something obscure, or if more lucky on the author's sites.

>>1 got me thinking about how I could acquire almost any paywalled paper or book without paying or relying on anyone for help. In about 20-30 minutes of research I managed to find a few ways of doing it. I'm currently content that my access to some interesting knowledge is no longer being restricted, but I'm not going to say what I did to gain access to it as I don't want my current easy access to be made harder, instead I invite anyone to use their head to find a way, just like they would use their heads when reading and understanding papers or books.
