Making us all law-breakers[ Parent | Reply to This ] (none / 0) (#20)

I was reading a digital copy of PC Magazine until a problem with printing arose. At first, I "resolved" the problem reinstalling my printer and the reader software. After about three or four reinstallations, the fix no longer worked. The software distributor/manufacturer was unable to resolve the problem. They could only recommend to reinstall the printer and the reader software or tell me that the magazine publisher may not allow printing. My solution is simple, forget the digital copies that require special readers or restrict use and stick to the traditional, printed copy. The result is that I have no use for a digital magazine. By trying to control the creation of hard copies, the publisher is raising the cost of production (if only paper and postage) and is discouraging me from renewing my subscription. This seems like an excellent model for going out of business.
