Surely with prices going that high the students could pool their resources to buy one copy and have it professionally scanned? It's only $1 per 100 pages.

Many students do that, but print shops might refuse to do the copying if they notice it's a textbook. At least, that's my experience in Australia.

That's the kind of system draconian copyright laws create.

One only needs a single shop that would agree. And at those prices the shop can be in any country.

There could not be a more literal copyright violation than what you described.
