Here is a site that is in the news a lot this morning... Mygazines.com launched in late July and encourages users, of which it has more than 16,000 at the moment, to "upload. share. archive." high quality digital scans of magazines that they've purchased. Of course you have to think copyright infringement the moment you open the site, but the problem for North American magazine publishers is Mygazines is registered in the Caribbean and hosted in Sweden, by the Stockholm-based PRQ which is owned by the founders of Pirate Bay. Tracking down those responsible or even putting preasure on the domain registrar or site host is nearly impossible.
With a quick search of the site I turned up the August edition of Wired that I just paid $5.99 plus tax for... but then again if I didn't buy it I wouldn't be able to build upon my Wired Art Collection, and besides, if we frequent Mygazines.com or other such sites we put the publishers at risk and threaten the very content that we enjoy.
