Yes. I agree.

The authors have had the solution in front of them from the beginning. They've been free to send out free copies from the time they finish.

But if they want the advantages that come from journals, well, someone is going to need to pay for them.

If you email any author I guarantee they will send you a PDF of the paper.

So let us create a website that for a given paywalled URL automatically emails the authors for a PDF. ;-)

I'm pretty sure someone actually did that. Google around for it.

Not all authors will respond to email promptly. And many have retired or even died -- there are decades-old papers still behind paywalls.
