And I thought Papoulis was expensive...
There is a tacit agreement to sell to libraries at a high price and let students download pirated copies. This justifies piracy.
Same with copies of Microsoft Office, easily pirated by students. There, a more sinister intention: to lock young people into a corporate system.
What do you mean, sinister? The strategy of getting students accustomed to the software that they will ask their companies to buy as professionals is pretty established!
Lock-in to closed platforms. A software version of the drug dealer’s “first one’s free”.
IMHO the main switch happened when Steve Jobs abandoned Alan Kay's vision of an interconnected user maintainable software world in favor of protected-source software that no longer allowed to open the hood, because the latter had a better business case.
