Depends on what it is... if it's a movie that I can't find, I'll usually just wait until an ethical version shows up somewhere later.

If it's a research paper or a book I'm looking for, though, I take paywalling as a personal insult - I usually go to extreme lengths to obtain it, and I usually do get it.
