After “awareness” campaigns that failed to move the needle for years, Denmark’s leading anti-piracy group is shifting to a more aggressive litigation strategy. The Rights Alliance confirmed it will begin filing civil lawsuits against individual students who are caught sharing even a single digital textbook. The anti-piracy group prefers not to mention the targeted platforms but says it uses undercover monitoring of private groups to gather evidence.
I used to email everyone in class a copy of all the books I’d get off libgen/anna’s
Knowledge is expensive
Stupidity is free
It shouldn’t be that way
Our professors would just show us how under the guise of “definitely don’t do this”.
Sometimes I had professors give us all readings for free including by scanning things themselves from the library and distributing paid journals they weren’t supposed to
Sometimes I had professors who wrote the textbook and demanded students buy the new edition every year for self enrichment
Sometimes I had professors who wrote the textbook but they’d tell us to buy the old ones cheap and then gave us free print outs of the newly added materials
Professors are a mixed bag
Yeah, I actually had one who gave out his textbook for free, but definitely had the mixture you did.
It wasn’t until my IT courses that they straight up told us to pirate it.
