	Sounds like PC Week is one of those 'Freebie' mags - subscribers don't
pay for them.

	One of the criterion for this type of magazine is to only send enough
copies to one location - they expect the copies to be utilized by more than
just the recipient.

	Guess they think that they are already sending enough copies to your
location and there's nothing much you can do about it except read your
friends copy.
