That's fine if you feel that way, but realize that getting it online for 'free' does not mean the magazine gets no revenue from that... Their advertising rates depend on online views in addition to paper subscriptions and/or sales. A lot of newspapers world wide learned that lesson the hard way when they started putting up paywalls...
