Carrying tubs of used course packs.<\/td>\nfor the Habitat for Humanity book sale.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

The deals are not a steal, but they are better than new and the proceeds go to a place. A few pennies may even end up in New Orleans. Course packs are expensive. They were once [if not still] printed by Union labor – members of what was once the Graphic Communication International Union. It is now the Graphic Communication Conference of the Teamsters<\/a>
\nwhich is in turn part of the Change to Win Coalition<\/a>. But if my most favoritist reactionary string theorist, Lumidek claims that course packs are expensive because of the Unions, he will be wrong!<\/strong> Most of the cost is licensing that intervention in the ‘free market’ that the right-wingers love so much – copyrights<\/strong><\/a>. | Richard Stallman<\/a> appeared briefly at the Wikipedia conference<\/a> at Harvard Law this summer. Given the significant differences between copyrights and patents, he asked whether the concept of intellectual property<\/a> has any ontological basis. It is, he asserts, merely a tool to legitimize business practices that benefit the few at the expense of the many.<\/p>\n
