I think it's pretty cheesy of them though to use the "limited time" pitch and then use a torrent for distribution. Stupid(or maybe not-so-stupid?) marketing scam.They're giving you a magazine and DVD for free. How is that a scam? (Are you expecting it to be full of adware?)The 'limited time' thing is probably to create a sense of urgency, whichI agree is cheesy, but I hardly think that deserves to be called a scam. I'm sure they're hoping you'll like what you get, and maybe subscribe for real. Letting you try their magazine before you pay up seems like a very honest way to promote their product.Thanks, Alex. Scam was the wrong word. How about ploy?
Sure, ploy it is. Might have worked in my case. I'm thinking about subscribing.
