Computeractive: an apology

Wednesday, August 6th, 2008

Yesterday, we ran a blog post suggesting that Computeractive may have gleaned the inspiration for its latest cover from a recently published copy of PC Pro.

Make your own mind up from the picture below:

PC Pro vs Computeractive

Last night we received an email from the group publisher of Computeractive, reminding us that “scanning our cover falls into copyright infringement”.

We would like to take this opportunity to apologise to the publisher of Computeractive. Copying content from a rival publisher is, of course, utterly reprehensible.

Computeractive flatters to deceive?

Tuesday, August 5th, 2008

If you’re passing through a newsagents this week and get a sudden pang of deja vu when you see this:

Computeractive censored

(SADLY, WE’VE HAD TO REMOVE OUR IMAGE. CLICK HERE TO FIND OUT WHY)

Don’t worry. We’ve not gone mad and decided to reprint the same cover we had three months ago…

PC Pro DVD cover 165

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and so to our colleagues at Computeractive, can we just say we’re very flattered indeed. And to Computeractive’s readers, can we suggest you save yourselves £1.59 and read our Double Your Broadband For Free feature here.

And if you’re curious to know what’s likely to be on the front cover of the next issue of Computeractive, here’s our prediction:

PC Pro 167
