Leo Simpson, the publisher of Silicon Chip, had a thing or two to
say about people copying his magazine in an editorial a little while
ago (6/05). His major gripe, and biggest worry from a revenue POV,
is institutionalised (schools, labs, offices etc) photocopying in regions
where the magazine is available in the print version. I think that, in
conjunction with the reply I received from them, shows that a
scanned article or two sent by email (more than likely to a place
where SC is not available) is a miniscule concern

If there's a library in Danny's area that has Silicon Chip, then by
all means he can scoot along and have a look. And probably
photocopy it ? (In b/w probably). I'd guess that Silicon Chip is
quite rare or even unknown in Illinois (?), so I'd be more than
happy to scan the article and email it to him, if he wants it that is
