I wondered due to recently remembering when I was able to pull the PDFs off teacher's section. On the textbook manufacturer's just from fking around the URL.
This is a while ago, but I did mention to the professor but he did the idk what you talking about. (2+ years ago)
So I did email the contact email for the manufacturer. They asked for student ID, school code and classroom name. I told in response You can get the school name and thats it. But the following response was how I need to disciplinary actions against me for attempting to cheat. Thus they need the student ID. I ain't gonna get expelled for absolute dumb shit. So I didn't give it and cut off all communications.
In cases this it's now like a double sided thing. I want to report an issue so someone could fix it. But if I'm going to be punished too, why report the issue at all?
