Once they read the book(s) they went into the school's electronic library. The Kobos could care less about the DRM and finacially this was the only way the class was going to be able to read the books.

I would hope that any school that did this would be prosecuted to the full extent that the law allows. This is utterly unacceptable. The teacher who took this action should be dismissed from his or her job.
