Reptiles Magazine

So I posted awhile back looking to see if anybody had a copy of the December 2008 issue that they didn't want, and I've found some on ebay, but I think paying $7+ for a issue is a bit of a rip off because you can get a two year subscription for under $30 which is $1.25 an issue. So hopefully I find one cheaper, something around $3-5. I know it's only a two dollar difference but it's the point that people want to try to milk out as much money as they can, lol.

So anyways, who all subscribes to the magazine? I'm just curious who else reads them and all. The August issue which I have no idea why I got in the middle of June has a very heart warming story about a girl saving a Boa. That story honestly brought tears to my eyes, and not much can do that. I'm willing to take a picture of it and post it so people can read it, because I just want everybody to see this story. I just want to make sure that I won't get in trouble for doing it first since technically I do own the magazine. So can a mod or admin chip in with that? Thanks.

I was subscribed, my subscription probably ran out though. Don't have as far back as 2008, sorry.

EDIT: yea you should be allowed to post a pic as long as you add a disclaimer or reference likes "taken from reptiles magazine august 2013 issue". It shouldn't be a problem since you aren't claiming it as your own. :)

Hi,

From my understanding owning the magazine is different from owning the copywrite on the material it contains so you wouldn't ( legally ) be allowed to share it.

What if I do what Mike suggested, state where it was taken from?

Dr. Del is right about copyrights. However, a full citation of the source when an article/quotation is used in a research or literary paper prevents it from being plagiarism. I would think the same rules apply as long as you cite the reference completely when you post. But, it's the mods' call.

I don't see what the big deal would be as long as he cited it...

$7 is about what you would pay for the mag in the store.

Honestly, the reptile magazine quality has gone down since I had it years ago. Way too many ads and I'm sorry but I don't want to read about amphibians in a reptile magazine.

I've cites many research peer review journal articles here. Haven't had a mod say anything to me yet. But I quoted everything and used MLA formatted citations. So the kind written in formal papers.


For a magazine,

My sub just ran out, and I only started in 2010. I just got for the pictures, tbh. The writing was sub-par and there wasn't enough about the hobby itself to warrant continuing. I'd like if they really did month to month issues (like getting august in June...) so that we could have a good spread about USARK, PIJAC, or whatever that other one is. But, it seems to be mostly a money draw on advertising for them now; which is unfortunate.
