And we're a company, which means we need to make a profit to stay in business. Unfortunately, there are enough dishonest people out there that it makes things a little tougher on you . As part of the copy protection, a WiZeUp book can only be installed on one hard drive, and comes with a single user license. Awfully sorry about that.

Textbooks are incredibly difficult and expensive to create.
It takes almost two years for the author and publisher to make a new textbook. A huge team of highly skilled professionals at several companies have to work together. A new textbook is only new as long as there are no used books available. By Spring semester it's all over for a book that was new in the Fall semester. Because the publishing companies and authors don't see a dime on used textbook sales, the price for the new book has to go up.
