It means providing products for free. For example, if you get an article published in Pyramid, they'll provide you with a comp copy of the issue. In this case, from Warehouse 23's point of view, PDFs for people who bought the box set would look like comps, in that they wouldn't be purchased.
And they would show up in your account as comps, at least based on the things in my account that I didn't write but still are listed as comps, including the specific PDFs under discussion.
