Libgen had a 502 error a couple days ago. Glad to see them back.

Anyway completely opposite as one of my teachers. I had to buy my teachers book for his course. The book he gave us was a binder with photocopied pages... Wtf?...

You own the fucking copyright. Give it to us for free.

Printing and binding is expensive, not to mention a waste of paper, you can't really expect them to front that cost IMO. He should have just given you the PDF instead printing it.

That's what I meant for giving it to us for free.

Also he got free photocopies from the school. That comes from tuition too.

Fair enough, that wasn't clear to me at least.

Oftentimes that comes out of department budgets. That's not necessarily 100% tuition funded.

Edit: meaning printer stuff... my department had our own photocopy machine. It was a department asset.
