I am the Kat that Walks By Itself

I have just been informed that someone at RainFurrest 2015 was giving away copies of Refractions #3 for free. Now, that would be nice and all... if the zine wasn't out of print and therefore the copies are obviously unauthorized reprints. I don't give a damn that they -- whoever they are -- aren't making money out of them, they should have bloody well asked permission! Just because there is a version online does not mean that people automatically have permission to mass-produce copies.

Can anyone out there give me more information about this?
