Textbook Prices and Piracy
http://thekojonnamdishow.org/shows/2008-08-20/textbook-prices-and-piracy
Students have always railed against the high price of textbooks, but today's students have something generations of others did not: file-sharing technology. As textbook prices continue to rise, more and more students are pirating textbooks online--and American publishers are worried. We discuss the future of textbooks and the issues at stake when copyright law is transported into the digital age.
