Theoretically you shouldn't need to, who buys a plugin is entitled to its source code because it must be licensed under GPLv2 or later due to Wordpress's own licensing.
Despite that, I haven't dug much, but I am surprised I haven't found an alternate store that redistributes plain plugins without the paywall.
Are you sure you need the paid-for plugins, or could you get away with free (gratis) ones?

I only do free plugins for now, but many of them are outdated, paywalled, etc
Sometimes I just want some feature, but have to forget about it because it costs $499 for adding a switch style button to somewhere, you know
By the way, yeah, why don't we still have an alternative market
