What I was driving at, in my lazy way, was that currently, if the price is too high for them, students can save money by buying used, sharing with roommate, photocopying.... All technically legal, I suppose.

If the price is too high with digital, pretty much the only option is piracy. Illegal, of course.

My fear is, publishers will try to gouge their captive market, then scream for more DRM and DMCA protection....
