In principle you would have to buy it, but:
AIX is usually sold with every R/6000 / p-series system and IBM is quite lenient about the OS software. You can't download it, but if you ask an IBM representative you have a very good chance to get AIX 5.3 without any further cost.
AIX doesn't run on anything save for IBM R/6000 and p-series machines so there would be no point in copying it. IBM sells its Unix-hardware only with AIX-licenses along so your machine has definitely been sold with an AIX license already anyways. Which is the reason for IBM being so lenient about it.
I hope the helps.
