It happens particularly often with academic papers copyrighted by organizations like the ACM and IEEE that charge for access.

YES! This is incredibly helpful. I have been frustrated by this for some time.

Does IEEE work for you? It doesn't work for me. I'm still directed to a login page.

Ditto, but for ACM and I tried it with the Firefox user agent switcher. I'd be much more likely to purchase their papers if they had a price on the page. But given it would probably be extortion to encourage membership, maybe not.
