Comment on Ask HN: Must Read from ACM Library?Comments−EFruit6ySpeaking from experience here, don't go overboard trying to grab papers to read later. Doubly so if you have a static IP. Academic resources, the ACM included, are incredibly ban-happy, and the line between good behavior and bad is kept secret.−capableweb6yIs your experience since before or after https://www.acm.org/articles/bulletins/2020/march/dl-access-... ? Seems strange they would offer Open Access and then ban people for accessing things.
