I find it disgusting that there is a lawsuit over Einstein's Notes. I took Michael Moulton's Wildlife Issues class in 2005, and I was required to buy the mandatory "electronic textbook." At the time, it was $80 - a lot for a college student. The contents were nothing more than a CD, DVD and a booklet seemingly no larger than a driver's education manual. All of this mass-produced, all of this what I would call "cheap quality" and all overpriced.

I could only assume the professor got a cut of the profits by contracting with Faulkner Press. To clarify, I attended every lecture and never used Einstein's Notes. Yet I find the underlying issue of money grubbing from students' pockets to be the big problem here. Give Einstein's a break, all students buy the CD anyway for homework credit, what does it matter in the end? They'll get your money anyway.
