Universities subscribe to these databases. There is a kind of redirection via a proxy that happens when I’m logged in via my univ’s network which allows me to download articles as you mention. I do have to agree to a “I declare I won’t violate copyrights” button before proceeding.
I’m aware that the proxying service is available while I’m logged in, I was just misled by a cached login to believe that it was working without logging in, which would have been very odd, though beneficial. I’ve decided to update the comment to reflect that.
