Sites like that saved me thousands getting my psych degree. God bless professors like this. Also the ones who were like, “the new edition of the book you need for this semester is $500, but you can get the previous edition for $5 at this site. Here’s copies of the pages that were changed.” or “I photocopied every page you need for this semester from the book for all of you.”
God bless this professor. Piracy is a victimless crime!
Piracy is a victimless crime, most of the time.
based professor
I paid $1000 for books my first semester of college back in 2007. I felt so burnt and violated I never bought another textbook. I made it through the rest of undergrad, a masters, and a PhD in biochemistry by checking out books from the library, borrowing textbooks from friends, and going sailing. When I taught I made it a point to teach my students about all the ways they can avoid becoming a victim like myself.
What could you have possibly learned from sailing though?
There’s a lot to be learned at sea, lad.
The only sea I sail is the digital sea
I can’t tell if you actually are confused or not, so I’ll just answer as if you are: the original poster WAS alluding to pirate-actions.
I have had uni professors sign books to make sure people actually bought new books and not used ones (he wrote them); unfortunately for him i had access to toluene to get pen ink off; did the same to all of my peers; Fuck those kind of professors
Buy/collect used books off students after they finish the course… Remove the ink, resell undercutting him by a ton and make a huge profit!
Nah I’m fine with spreading how to remove the sign, there are already enough people capitalizing on education here
Do what happened if you bring a book to class already signed?
He threatened you to either buy a new book or he would make your uni career hell, one of my mates did it, at the last exam he sent him back 5 times, the last time he went to take the exam the coordiator said “what else have you got to ask to him; he told you everything in your course; [insert name] give me the paper” he signed the paper and sent him off; the prof. Still gave him only 60/100.
I still want to slap that piece of shit.
After that i taught other people in the uni to do that; he tried to mitigate by writing over the printed title of the book; hoping that any tampering would be evident; toluene didn’t touch the toner, so it didn’t work
Edit: grammar mistake (thanks mac)
Sounds like a pos.
Also that sounds very illegal, no complaints have been filed or anything?
Here in italy no one gives a quater of a fuck about that kind of shit. Good thing is that the same can be said when after the last exams he always needs to call a tow truck since he won’t have tires, not even cameras were able to stop them, and i’m quite sure other professors turn a blind eye to them since they also hate him.
I knew you were italian as soon as I read that lol. Basically my uni life too
This reminds me of when Weird Al told Canadian (or maybe Australian?) fans who wanted to watch his movie, “there’s Very Probably No way to do this. I know you probably have a TORRENT of questions, but I don’t have time to answer them right now.”
Asus had some different ideas about libgen.rs 😯
To be fair it might actually be possible to find smut there.
You’re probably correct. It’s the Internet. The Internet is for porn: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTJvdGcb7Fs
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Yo control your router lol (freshtomato or openwrt or something might be good options)
Unfortunately many courses now give assignments through sites that are only accessible by purchasing a textbook with a unique access code
So in every other country if they tried something like that, students would kick up shit, government would step in and sort it
So it’s either, too pussy to stand up for yourselves, or you’re living in a dictatorship
Which is it? 😂
i don’t know who’s downvoting you. As an american who had to go through that shit, you’re not at all wrong.
Perfect professor fr
