Why should I have to ...
sign up just to download a document ?
A miserable little 8meg PDF ?
I would NEVER use any publishing service that forced readers to sign up and provide an email address . . .
That is only going to be used to send UCE (spam) ? !
No one here, publishers or readers is ever likely to be friend or family so what other reason is there for forced collection of email addresses from readers ?
It is just another reason to encourage fake/temporary webmail addresses at yahoo or google.
I would personally love to see either yahoo and/or google sue issuu out of existence.
