"It is difficult to understate how downright evil the big book publishers are.
If you think the RIAA and MPA are bad (and, they are), the book publishers take
it to new super villain, mustache-twirling levels. George Washington University
libraries have put out an alert to students and faculty that Wiley, one of the
largest textbook publishers, has now removed 1,379 textbook titles that the
library can lend out. They won’t even let the library purchase a license to
lend out the ebooks. They will only let students buy the books."
