Isn't a publisher a third-party for-profit company? If you need to buy a book for a class to read and do homework in order to pass the class, that's okay right? So, why is it wrong to expect someone to do the same thing digitally?
- darkengine 10y agoBooks can be shared in study groups, lent between students, checked out from a campus library, bought and sold between terms, and photocopied. Much the same could be done for a DRM-free PDF. The only way to complete MyMathLab homework is to pay out for a poorly-written Flash app.
