In spite of the best before date having gone stale on the original post, the idea of a marriage between text book manufacturers and courses seems relatively simple. If each student had included in their fees the cost of their course package, or required courses, at a truly reduced rate, then the idea of piracy loses currency.
Of course I immediately thought of a fly in the ointment with the above idea. For example if an English course requires me to read The Faerie Queen, and such public domain titles, why should I be required to pay for texts I can get for free? Anyone want to do a cost-benefit analysis?
