Yeah, why would someone pay for the cow if they're getting the milk for free?

You chowderheads. You respond with something like,

Hmmm, I'll look it over and subscibe if I like it.

That way Reason will think it's in their own interests to continue to provide the mag online for free.

*shakes head* Sheesh.

I work in the book industry, and we have found ,contrary to common sense that allowing people free access to our products actually helps sales. Even if the magazine is free online I'll buy it each month, and so will plenty of other readers.

That's easy to see why; reading it online hooks me to the writing, while buying a copy (as opposed to printing it) would provide for slightly cheaper, less cumbersome material to read on the shitter.

So much for economically rational decisions.

Hey, I haven't even received my dead-tree edition yet! What's up with making the entire issue available this early?!?

I don't have to buy Reason, it was a Christmas gift from a friend. If he wants to cancel my subscription, it's his choice.

Well if it is online for free why am I paying for a subscription. Short answer I read in the bath tub.
