Right, no disagreement. No matter how one looks at it a $300 textbook isn't small change for most people anywhere and it's going to be worse for those in poor countries. In some ways it's easy to understand why some countries are dragging their feet when it comes to enforcing copyright. Incidentally, the $300 I used may even be conservative, recently I was pricing specialist textbooks and one was over $500. If I'd bought the three books that I wanted it would have come to just under $1200. Instead, I managed to borrow one from a colleague and I'm trying to get the others on interlibrary loan but that's not yet been possible.
