Textbooks With EULAs

Posted by timothy on from the oh-boy dept.

overshoot writes "We all knew it was coming, didn't we? Now Princeton University and nine others are introducing DRM'd textbooks. For a 33% discount, students get a 5-month node-locked e-book instead of all that glossy paper. Maybe Congress should just get it over with and change the law to allow EULAs on printed works?"

    In the case of DVDs, I don't think there should be a license of any kind.

    Why offcourse there shouldn't be. They should also make everything open source. That way, a company that spends millions in developing a product can give it away for free - w/o recouping any of their costs. Silly people trying to earn a living.
