I’m having the same problem that Marlyse is having. I have subscribed as of April 2015 and my account shows that I am active, but I can’t seem to actually get to the magazine download. Should it be sent to me by email…and if so I haven’t received any. Please can you send a digital copy to me by email. Thanks, Love the site. Sara

I am in India right now and need to download the magazine, cannot read it online. Every time I click on a link for this issue, I am redirected to the Subscribe page. I have already subscribed, my subscription is active until Feb. 2016 and had the same problem on the last issue about Law. Can you send me a download link directly by mail ? Thank you. Marlyse
