Do I really have to pay for a pdf of the standard? (sorry I just don't see anyway else to download the pdf)

Yep. You can download the latest working draft from open-std.org though: http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2017/n470...
Just go to https://github.com/cplusplus/draft for drafts. Choose a draft version that is produced right before the actual date of standardization and there are only very minor differences between the draft and the real deal.
Yes, I should emphasize that the minor differences are really minor and mostly typographical. There's no reason to need the published copy over the draft unless you're IBM working on icc, one of the head gcc maintainers, etc.
Someone will upload it on libgen within a few days
That is illegal.
cool story
and?
maybe he's a lawman
