I think they work on the hope that (A) their repro is so f---ing awful that nobody can tell what they've ripped off ;) (B) most of the publishers of the magazines they reprint from have long gone. (C) they're dealing in such small volumes that nobody cares.
I've never unilaterally boycotted a publisher before, Unique are the first I've ever decided are nothing more than ripoff merchants. For how to do reprint stuff legitimately and well, look at Brooklands Books who are highly respected in their field.
Unique also had a delightful habit of releasing cash-in compilations of crap with a similar title to "proper" books that had just been released..... lovely people indeed :(
