Yes, it looks as if the pirated version is prepared from the same hi-rez
pdfs we send to the printer and Zinio. These are not cheesy scans from
the paper magazine.

> Where is the leak?

Our management is investigating because the leak must either be from
the pre-press department or the printer. All we have found out so far
is that the sources for the pirated version(s) are sites in Spain and
the Ukraine. While these sites have sent "cease and desist" letters,
enforcing copyright in those countries is, I am told, very difficult.
