The instructors I had were notorious to pirate as well. They'd sell photo copied bundled "text books" from other textbooks as the required edition so they get part of the profit from the sale of the book and maybe include some pirated copy of a movie or some other materials they stole online.
Eh. I'm sure there's some of that going on, but if you're buying a course pack through the university book store, there's a pretty good chance you're just paying printing (it hard copy) and licensing fees.
A lot of university textbook publishers will sell the content of the books per chapter to university book stores.
Not saying you're wrong, but I've never heard of that where I went
They're called course packs.
