Just so you know (and not to defend them) but the free JDJ isn't a "mistake". Mags promise advertisers a certain distribution numbers and in turn place orders for those numbers to the printers. When the paid subscribers don't meet those numbers sending the rest out free covers both sides of the problem. And placing the "Resubscribe now!" warnings all over them sometimes catch people (my wife has re-subscribed to mags I didn't want). So they make their advertisers happy, they get rid of overprints and they sometimes gain subscribers.
