If the price keeps going up, there will be a silk road for pirated college textbooks.

    That URL doesn't load :(

      It works for me =/ I know the www prefix doesn't work. Perhaps there's some sort of filtering being done at your location?

        Ahh, working now! I could've sworn it had www before.

  There are plenty of sites dedicated entirely to or with sections of college textbooks.[1] A good starting point is to simply Google the title of the work you are looking for and append a "filetype:PDF." For example, I found no less than six copies, all hosted by various universities, of Rosen's Discrete Mathematics this way.[2] If you are talking about a market for having pirated physical copies mailed to you my I ask what advantage would that service have over a print shop like Kinkos? Do places like Kinkos refuse to print copyrighted material?
