Also do they make any $ off of the actual pdf magazines? If so what is their circulation I would think is something to consider. I mean if they sell copies at $5.00 a pop and sell 5k copies that means they earn around $25,000.00 from the sale. IF they do make that kind of money off it then why don't they at least pay for submissions? In theory they could be making money from it for yrs and you wouldn't see a dime of it. Of course I don't know if they do make any money off of the magazine but if they do then by not sharing with you the author they are raking in the funds and you aren't getting anything from it in that regard. Just a thought.
