Just pay for the physical magazine like people have always done? Then u don't have to worry about it.
The point is that they offer that product. .... and now want to change it after people pay. There are people who doesn't live in usa and want to recibe the sdj without paying shipping every month. I wouldn't have a problem about the new policy ... just wouldn't buy it. . But if you sold me X product you can't now change because of piracy. ... that's you're problem and you have to deal against it without affect me. The point is not If sdj is safe or not. .. The point is they ve always sell two Kind of products. .. The printed and the pdf and now suddenly change for what we have been already pay. .... change your product. .i don't care. .. It's your right. .i simply won't renew but don't change what I'm pay before. ....
For those of you who don't know, you can print the magazine from the site. That is not what my problem is. I like to save my SDJs to a file on my kindle. If piracy is a problem, he should find out who is doing it and deal with THEM. You can print the magazine and distribute it that way so he is not dealing with the problem. I just like to keep mine. I used to subscribe to the old SDJ and still have my copies put up. The only problem with that is they get old and worn from reading and storage. I could just download them and scan them but that shouldn't have to happen. Jack, people like me don't like to share because too many people don't want to pay for what they get. I have the Bible and your CDs. I don't let nobody borrow them either. There are too many deals out there for me to let someone just get it for free.
I think not allowing a pdf download will hurt sells. I enjoy reading them on my tablet. The printed editions are twice the price. If I'm not mistaken the pdf has your email at the top. So why not ban the email that uploads the magazine to the web. I mean even the printed versions can be shared with others. Jm2c
If you don't like the policy, don't subscribe. I don't blame him for doing what it takes to protect his work.
