In one international computer science magazine alone, I found around 40 computing-related events to be held around the world in the next three months. Just last month, the FCRC 2007 in San Diego, California served as the mother lode for almost 20 separate conferences – cons within a con.

Pitman's article seems to indicate that this is not the case (at least, at the time of his writing), which is why he wrote, "ACM...charges authors for a subscription to the journal in question in order to obtain a printed copy of what they wrote." :P Hmm…is ACM membership a requirement to get considered for publication?

I didn't know that part about ethics, though. I think I want to check that out as well. And think of it this way: it's the contributor's decision whether to, er, contribute or not. If the magazines didn't promise anything up front, then the contributor shouldn't expect anything either. I think they also assumed that sending a complimentary copy to someone already subscribed to the magazine is silly. :) A token would be nicer.
