Headline omits details to promote outrage.
> Ahead of the December 18 shutdown, users will be able to export copies of paid magazines. Magazines that cannot be exported due to interactive elements will be eligible for a refund.

The few remaining subscribers have time to download their previously purchased magazine subscriptions or to get a refund for any interactive subscriptions. A month's notice still sucks though.
