I downloaded one just to see what it was, and it was the real deal. Everything was perfect. Somebody with access to the original computer (PDF?) files put it out there. Where is the leak?

Hi,
I actually about this a number of months ago. My thoughts are in an article linked below called "The Future of Print Magazines is Online and Free." In my opinion, stopping pirating will be as successful as what's happening with the music industry. I know a few publishers and all their content has ended up online. In one instance, THREE WEEKS before the newstand date!

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.

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.

Shoot, that's easy. Just send Luigi out to break a few kneecaps.
Or if you want to be civilized, you go to both places and tell them if this happens again that you will switch companies. They will find the guy for you and fire them, as losing Stereophile would also mean losing forty other titles. Money talks...
My friend works (and now supervises) pre-press for a large printer in Colorado. Threats of lost business are taken very seriously, especially as a result of security concerns or employee mistakes.
With all the highly classified material that gets distributed it is clear that nothing would be sacred. It is a shame that hard work gets pirated. It would be fitting that those doing the pirating would be caught and processed to the full extent of the law, but I would not bet on it after what we all see going on now.
