It was available a couple of weeks ago.

Now, online copyright infringement is a terrible thing, and so I very 
strongly recommend that you do not visit https://moscow.sci-hub.ac/, and 
don't type "Flipping the Assessment of Cognitive Load: Why and How" into 
its search box, and _definitely_ don't click the button with a picture 
of a key next to it.

After all, anyone would agree that the amount that academic publishers 
charge for access to the articles they publish is totally reasonable, 
considering that the great costs of getting researchers to write papers 
(for free) and getting other researchers to review them (also for free).

So I strongly recommend that you go ahead and pay the very modest $15 
that the ACM are asking for.  How else than by charging for each and 
every download of every publication can they further their stated 
purpose of "... serving both professional and public interests by 
fostering the open interchange of information..."?
