That's exactly what I was trying to say - the magazine company was NOT terribly concerned tho.
Hmmm....isn't that odd? :?
How is this odd? Used books and magazines are sold all the time...online, brick and mortar shops, garage sales, etc. The ebay seller is offering the actual pages, not copies of actual pages. I don't have the heart to cut pages from my magazines, but I certainly enjoy having the option of purchasing pages that have the only pattern I want...I don't have to store the whole magazine or pay the shipping for something I don't really want or need. If the magazine company sold it once, they're out of it....unless someone is making copies and even then I'd think it would be hard to include the company. Just wondering outloud on my keyboard...not challenging or debating or interpreting law.
