Textbook Torrents

16 Jul in intellectual property

I thought some of you would be interested in this story about file sharing of PDFs of textbooks. I found the story on FARK, and while I know the comment thread is long, it's worth reading; it's remarkable, some of the ingenious scams these students and former students have concocted to save money on books. I've said it before, but it bears repeating: it's time to make textbooks affordable.
