Seriously, why do I have to pay a value somewhere close to £1000 for a set of FUCKING PDFs?!?
This is ridiculous. Make money from audits, certifications, training, and conferences. You can still make absolute stacks from those. Why the fuck do I or my company need to shell out thousands just so we know what to certify against to be able to sell stuff?!
It’s a fucking racquet and they know it. But it’s either one of 3 options:
Find someone who’s willing to send you the PDF or log in credentials for a library service that has access to these standards.
Take the risk downloading PDFs from dodgy sites you found on the 5th page of duckduckgo.
Bend over and spread open your wallet. Because good luck getting anything delivered to a customer without it.
There should be a libgen, sci-hub, internet archive, and a massive torrent of ISO standards. Standards aren’t great if they are gate kept by money. Now someone will reinvent it without a profit motive, and there’s 2 standards.
And fuck ISO for charging so much for access to them.
As an engineer: 1000% agree.

Why is there not a Libgen or sci hub for these?
