I don't like a long debate actually, but I should adress this issue. When I went back to my home and I saw that they photocopied all textbooks, I was confused why they did it. I know that was a kind of piracy and it was a kind of disobeying the copyright. Now, I am trying to feel what they feel that the price of textbook is so expensive in Indonesia. I think I will do the same thing like them also because of that expensive price. I think this is because there aren't enough good publishers like Prentice, Wiley, or Thomson in Indonesia. This is the different case with Singapore of course. But, I like the solution that those publishers do. They created the edition for International Students and the price is more manageable, I think. I hope there isn't any kind of photocopying books anymore. Labels: NTU Study |
In Indonesia as (under)developing country, ppl tends to get textbooks as cheaper as they can, like many other things. Anything is legal here lol.
