But that is a lot easier said than done. Unique current content found in specific magazines cannot be found on the internet, because users are unwilling to pay for such content. As soon as unique articles are published on the internet it reappears, usually rehashed, for free in some other internet source, rather than actually paying for the original source. Once new content is added online it gets redistributed quickly, often without the permission of the magazine/newspaper/author and the original authoring company rarely gets any fees for publishing the article.
