Sorry to inform Gliding International that their host web service was allowing pdf downloads when they didn't intend this to happen.

DON'T SHOOT THE MESSENGER!

I was simply trying to find out from them what the policy was... when other here on r.a.s. informed me that pdf's could be downloaded... oops

At some point Roake and subscription would have discovered the implementation error. Now they know...

I think it's going to hurt their digital subscription business tremendously.. After all, why would you only want the current magazine to read on-line? .... never able to go back to previous issues.

Unless I hear differently, I'm ordering the paper magazine until they get this sorted out.

Apparently there's a mismatch between implementation of their digital subscriptions with their web host that is allowing downloads of a PDF and their subscription policy which does not allow it. Personally, I won't subscribe to digital unless I can save issues. I disagree with the policy. Sorry I blew up this capability..

Here's their reply:

"If the position is as you described, it is totally contrary to the
agreement we have with our web page hosts.

The situation is being addressed and corrected. Downloads was never agreed
to nor planned.
