This is a violation of the copyright laws, unless the website and article
explicitly permit distribution. You're much safer if you simply send the
web URL to your students instead of the entire article. You may think
this is absurd but many sites rely on the ad revenue generated by visitors
and if you undermine this source you will undermine the future
availability of these useful articles. You also expose your institution
to considerable liability as this use is not normally exempted under fair
use statutes.
