A report outlines that over half of the Danish students who use digital textbooks are engaging in illegal copying, despite their awareness of its illegality. This practice raises concerns about copyright infringement, putting students at risk of facing legal actions, including potential fines. The Rights Alliance, an organization dedicated to fighting copyright violations, emphasizes the importance of respecting intellectual property rights among students.

The findings highlight a significant issue within educational institutions in Denmark, where students may feel compelled to access materials illegally due to the high costs associated with legitimate copies of digital textbooks. This has prompted discussions on the need for affordable and accessible educational resources that could mitigate the urge to resort to illegal means for obtaining study materials.

As the issue of copyright infringement continues to surface among students, educational bodies and organizations like the Rights Alliance may push for greater awareness campaigns to educate students about the legal consequences of such actions. This situation calls for a collective effort to find workable solutions to ensure that students have access to the necessary educational tools without breaching copyright laws.
