What we found

Magazine piracy is quiet and cumulative. No single issue draws much attention, but the scan confirmed 44 back issues available as free PDFs, which together cover most of the last four years — enough that a prospective subscriber has little reason to subscribe.

Roughly a third of the confirmed copies were forum attachments rather than standalone pages. Those are the cheapest to remove and the easiest to miss, because they never surface in a normal title search.

Status

Not currently protected. For a subscription title the useful measure is not the raw count but the share of the archive that is freely available; here that is high enough to be affecting renewals.
