Question on Japanese Magazine

Published on September 2, 2003 By starone In WinCustomize Talk

I've been contacted by a Japanese magazine that distributes CD's. They want to include my windowblinds. I recall something similar having been posted last year, but do not remember the outcome. I think more were against than for. Any enlightenment is much appreciated.

We used to get a lot of this stuff back on Skinz.
Most folk give permissions and ask for at least a copy of the mag in return.
Most of the Japanese companies are happy to oblige.

Or in other words: go for it!

It all seems genuine enough, and the replies people have been getting upon giving permission aren't just cut-and-paste automated replies, which is sometimes the case. Let's just see if they stick to their word.

These same type of magazines ask to put shareware versions of the software on the CDs that they ship with their magazines (great way to attract customers). I would say, that since they are asking for permission, that they are a reputable magazine. If they weren't, then they would just put the stuff on the CD knowing that 99% of the time nobody will ever know. (How many of us read Japanese magazines?)

I also remember some ppl never got the mag after they gave permission... but to be in a mag is good so why not give permission nothing to lose there but something to share
