Frankly, ACM membership and publication is a good deal compared to many other societies. For $200 annual dues, you get unlimited access to all journals.
Contrast to the American Chemical Society. For $175, you get:
1) Access to 50 articles for 48 hours
2) The right to purchase access to additional articles at $12 a pop for 48 hour access.
You want to look at the article again after 48 hours? Pay up again.
