It's common (much more than 50% for academic ones, IMHO) that
sold articles are freely available on-line.
For example, a PDF file of the paper "End-to-end arguments in
system design" can be purchased for $15 from:
http://doi.ieeecomputersociety.org/10.1145/357401.357402
which is the first link appears in google scholar search with
the paper title, or, from:
http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?doid=357401.357402
to which the above IEEE link is redirected, but is available
free of charge from:
http://web.mit.edu/Saltzer/www/publications/endtoend/endtoend.pdf
which is the second link (next to google scholar one) with plain
google search.
It is a lot more time (and money) saving to search free
versions before entering transactions to purchase them than
to rely blindly on PubMed, IEEE, ACM, google scholar etc.
