The magazine rack

[Mike Oxlong]

On a beer run to the local Family Mart last night, I noticed that all the magazines were tied up with twine. Not just the girly mags, but everything. Is there some sort of campaign to stop tachiyomi?

It's the same in a lot of bookstores. Some people nowadays take pictures with their keitai and don't buy anything. There was question on oshiete goo the other day where a woman said how she went to one shop to collect recipes for dinner on her camera and was told by a member of staff to leave. She was upset with the shop's attitude and asked the community if she was really doing anything wrong.

Most of the answers pointed out that a shop isn't a library and actions like hers were the reason shops were making it harder to browse. They also said she could be guilty of copyright infringement or digital theft, especially if she posted the images on the net.
