Not at all a stupid question. PACER's fees have been a source of controversy for years. They charge $0.10 per page or a max of $3 per document. There's been litigation about the fees[1], but it's still working its way through the court system. A couple of bills that eliminate the fees have been filed to in Congress over the last year or so, but they haven't gone anywhere. It's also an incredibly technically outdated and user unfriendly system, so even without fees it would be worth scraping.
