BM Coverage in Australian PC Powerplay

Science.

@Elpants

Well, it is possible to block IPs from a certain country.

Then again, there are always proxies.

Then again, you can’t stop the internet.

In other words, they can’t do this with any degree of certainty and the sheer effort involved is greater than the benefit.

Also, Alcator, get a grip man, someone has given BM a very big bit of free promotion; the very least the dev team can do is to ensure that the magazine is promoted in turn by preventing action that could potentially eat into their sales.

It’s called being polite, try it someday :hmph:

Not with her PC fried she won’t.

Yeah, just saw the thread. We’re just SOL now, aren’t we? :’(

I honestly don’t think a scan of that one article would affect their sales in Australia.

[Skellyton]

Awesome, i have the magazine, its soo pritty
also i think im willing to buy some for other members outside of Australia who want all its goodness. But i want the amount plus postage into my bank, other than that no dice, none of this paypal crap -_-

[Nirvash]

I have to agree. Here the editor says he is fine with scans being posted,

@dude_PCPP

We’re happy for someone to scan and post here, and after the mag has been on sale for a few weeks, I’ll give you guys the gift of PDF… BUT ALL YOU AUSSIES BETTER BUY IT! Otherwise, who’s going to do the 4pp review?

Cheers!

And the writer also does not say he doesn’t want scans posted.

@Rezdnore

I’m the fellow who wrote the article, and I have no intention of leaking any screens, videos or data Just because it’s an occupation most people don’t take seriously doesn’t mean that we don’t act like professionals!

We don’t have the budget to send the magazine out to everyone we interview. According to my editor, anyway. I’m a freelancer so can’t send it out of my on wallet, either. I simply can’t afford to send magazines to the people I interview/feature every month because it’s a lot! I always offer to scan the article once I get a copy of it, though.

We hope you enjoy the article when it hits the shelves. I of course encourage the Australians to actually purchase it instead of just reading scans, however

However a mod states that the editor and writer have requested to withhold scans, unless those I quoted are not the editor and writer and the team have received a message from either, I do not see a problem with releasing scans.

@JamesKane

I live in America and I have to suffer as well.

However the editor of the magazine and writer of the article both requested scans to be disclosed for a few weeks. Out of respect for both I will be removing all links of scans and requests.

After a few weeks the scans can be passed around as the editor even suggested he may upload the pdf file of the article.

I am seeing some conflicting stuff here,

CRY SOME MORE

I am sure many of our fans will have scans available on an external website (we do not have control over this).

However, you will not see them on our site for at least a week.

The comments on the page have a few more suggestions for what it sounds like.
