A growing number of countries and funding bodies require Open Access to the results of publicly-funded research. The AES OA policy explains the options available to authors, and also deals with archiving/preprints.
If an AES paper has been made OA it will have the OA logo next to it and will be freely downloadable from the AES E-Library by anyone, even if they are not an AES member or E-Library subscriber.
