I whole heartedly agree here, in Lima, Perú, the major publishers were under fire for paying off school staff to get them to make their textbooks mandatory. The next day the spokesperson of the association of publishers said that programs of educational institutions that rent the book for a semester or year to the student "aren't paying copyright"(sic). Traditional textbook publishers are at the crossroads to embrace the new paradigm or die.
- freshfruit 15y agoYou're 100% correct! It's absurd in the US too. The way the publishing industry releases their attractive young female salesforce onto college campuses (I heard this from a somewhat biased source - would love verification) and then bribes gatekeepers at resort "conferences" would be funny if it weren't such a tax on our education system... But this paradigm must be overturned with disruptive innovation not mimicry!
