Here's a link to an article in the Toronto Star on Copyright infringements. It's about copy shops that are allowing students to photocopy complete textbooks to avoid paying the high cost each semester. Interesting . . .

Interesting article, in one of the comments someone says that institutions may start bundling the cost of books in the tuition. Why not bundle the price in with tuition but at an incredibly discounted price? say 30% of what the hard copy is and give the students a digital copy. I see this benefiting everyone. Students get cheaper books, the publishers save money on printing, nothing illegal can happen as easily, and it is good for the environment.
Jsut some thoughts.
In my earlier post I just want to clarify that the institution would give only a digital version of the text book to the student and not both a print and digital version.
