I'm not defending piracy... but it will be a factor in how the technology plays out. And in the long run, it might be beneficial.

And yes... overpriced textbooks is a curse. Overpriced textbooks that you're buying just because your professor or someone in the department is in it is even worse.

Exhibit A: My German book - single worse foreign language text I've ever used/seen/experienced and I've seen a LOT. It's just terrible! But someone in the department was involved...
