Slight changes to the windows script:
- Included BD download - Option for older powershell versions - e.g. if running an older version of Win 7. Just uncomment the relevant lines
Not as sleek as the unix version but it works :)

Of course newspaper companies want not only useful and relevant eyeballs, but also measurable. Change of service provider could be due to many reasons not necessarily leakages. Inability to provide accurate and timely data to independent media monitors may have contributed to replacement.
Putting a meter on readership is profoundly an important performance indicator.
Their recent marketing campaigns (epapers to schools) should be a pointer to the overall direction in the age of vicious news- rendering competition coming from bloggers et al. These days you hear it from Robert Alai, Wazua.co.ke etc many hours before it breaks press.

I'm not sure I agree...
Two reasons: 1. Nation switched their ePaper provider to the current provider. The previous provider (an IT company based in India) was leaky and very many eyeballs got a hold of the PDF version. You could argue that this was part of their strategy. The current provider seems to be more secure implying to me (at least) that security is a factor.
2. Not too long ago they actually stopped providing PDF copies because of copyright infringement. They reinstated it shortly after maybe because of a loud outcry from their subscribers. In fact, immediately after they restored them, PDFs would download with a watermark of your username (your email). They later removed them which makes me suspect that there are invisible watermarks that can inform them which account is leaking their copy then possibly blocking only those accounts (I'm only speculating... I really don't know).
Overall, the bigger concern is that we as tech creatives (sources of copy) should appreciate the importance of upholding other's right to copy because we will benefit from such an environment in the long run. Turning a blind eye is not a way to go. I think this is critical.

Its unfortunate that i am disqualified on account of age!
From experience, selling ERP's requires lots of referrals & networks. And age would be a prerequsite.
