Toby Silverton interview in Octane
This is possibly the first (and perhaps only) time I will leap to Kevin's defence but he is right in this instance. These magazines rely on cover sales and do allow for world wide distribution and if we scanned articles at will on forums then it would cannibalise their sales here in the UK as well as overseas to Octanes detriment, hence the existence of copyright.
In due course Octane will publish the interview online for free access, at a point where they don't expect any further revenue from that article.
The argument is wait, or pay.
