To get free copies of textbooks you have a few options.
This article will cover these options and how safe they are.
You have to consider the pirated copies could land you in serious trouble.
Since the inception of the Internet college students have been clamoring for free copies of textbooks.
The only problem with this is that the textbook companies want to continue to make millions and millions of dollars off students.
Some ideas have been to make free copies of textbooks available with sponsored ad's in them.
To me that is a problem.
Who wants to be reading homework for school and have ad's popping up in your face all the time.
But you can download free copies of textbooks from many different sources on the Internet.
These books will most likely be an outdated version of the textbook you want but you can still probably get by using them for class.
A second issue with the downloaded textbooks is that you will have to either download them to a laptop so that you can carry it with you or print out a copy of the download.
With most textbooks being over 100 pages that could get expensive with ink and paper.
What you really need to worry about when getting free copies of textbooks is they could be a pirated version.
The new laws in place are really cracking down on this type of behavior.
You surely don't want to get slapped with a fine that will cost more than actually buying a used version of the textbooks you need.
My idea on getting textbooks of the Internet is this.
If the textbook companies would allow us to download the textbook, we could compromise by letting them run ad's.
But the only time they ad would pop up is when you open the textbook or when you close it.
It is pretty simple but they are always thinking about how much money they can get college students to spend.
I believe information and learning should be free.
You have learned that the textbook companies will probably never allow downloaded textbooks.
Plus you have learned that getting free copies of textbooks can get you in some serious trouble.
Just remember to do the time if you do the crime.
