Not really accurate - publishers might put papers behind paywalls, but researchers themselves are usually glad to send them to anyone who requests them as long as they have time. And it's totally legal, not like they're pirating their own papers.

That's a great point, I've reached out to researchers a few times to ask about their research and they have all freely just shared the work with me.
