Need to Download an ISO Standard

I've searched high and low.  Doesn't anyone know where I can get the actual PDF on ISO 27001?  I understand you can go out to their website to download it but they charge for this.  I'm reading where you can download it as long as you do not use it for professional use.  Does anyone know where I can get a copy of this at?   Thank you.

The ISO documents are officially copyrighted documentation.
It's not freeware, free to personal use.
So you publicly ask for an illegal copy of an official document, do I understand it correctly?

And for something like 113EUR you get a fair price at the ISO shop: https://www.iso.org/standard/54534.html
Or a few dollars cheaper at https://store.pecb.com/products/standard-27001

It's not even worth the violation of the copyright... but just a small and fair price for a worldwide community working to document best practices...
BTW check for ISO27001 A18
More specifically A.18.1 > A.18.1.2 "Intellectual property rights"
"... ensure compliance with legislative, regulatory and contractual requirements related to intellectual property rights..."

Nope, I think you misunderstood.  I'm not doing any illegal here, and I understand that these documents are proprietary to ISO/IEC;  they are available to the public if they are NOT used for official purposes.  With that said, the standards are publically listed on ISO's website @ https://standards.iso.org/ittf/PubliclyAvailableStandards/index.html; however, unless I am overlooking it, I do not see 27001 - I see the vocabulary for it, but do not see the actual document.

The other path you can look at the different public discussions/interpretations of the application, process.
Potentiall it is available as part of a professional association, or as a student of a course.
