Post by thread:[PICLIST] Nuts & Volts Mag Jan & Feb Issues?

Does anyone have copies of N&V for Jan & Feb that can somehow be shared? I am a paid subscriber, and they just messed up and didn't process my subscription properly late last year, so I'm not trying to get away with anything - there are just a couple of articles that I'm really interested in, and I would like to not have to wait for them to send the back issues that I just paid for again.....

I have them, but a copy is in violation of copyright law isn't it Chris....

Vern: I believe distributing it widely for free would be wrong. Since I have paid for the right to posess a copy, I believe there's nothing wrong with doing so. If this would bother your conscience, I wouldn't want you to do it. A week or two back, there was a fellow making the rounds trying to get copies of chapters of a book that he didn't want to pay for. I was perhaps the loudest one to remind him of the right & wrong of taking intellectual property. I tried to help him as best as could be done without actually making copies of it, but he wasn't satisfied. > I have them, but a copy is in violation of copyright law isn't it > Chris.... > -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.

Perhaps you should just state what you need up front. I'm sure paraphrasing some info is not a violation of a copyright, and perhaps you only need something simple as that until you get your back issues? Cheers. {Original Message removed}

Don't be afraid to just call them up and ask for a back issue. They make their money selling adspace, not subscriptions. Chances are they will be very happy to provide the back issues. 1(800)783-4624 or spam_OUTSalesTakeThisOuTnutsvolts.com. -Mina Nichols {Original Message removed}

I have already done that. It took 2 days to convince them that I had been asubscriber for some time and that for some reason they just stopped sending copies to me. They wanted me to re-subscribe, plus pay something like $8 each for the three back issues, meaning that they were asking for almost $50. Finally someone there got it straight, and all I had to pay for (extra) was the shipping cost of the back issues. I still won't hold my breath waiting for the April issue. Their online order entry system seems to have a problem when credit card billing addresses don't match shipping addresses. I had a similar problem with Circuit Cellar last year.. Thanks for the advice though... c {Quote hidden}> > Don't be afraid to just call them up and ask for a back > issue. They make > their money selling adspace, not subscriptions.
