Exams are Illegal


What you are seeing here is my Physics text book.(Looks brand new because this is the first time I am actually touching it this year).
But what caught my attention is what is inside on the first page. There is a paragraph in the copyright claim box which goes:

" No part of this book may be reproduced or copied in any form or by means(GRAPHIC, ELECTRONIC or MECHANICAL......INFORMATION RETRIEVAL SYSTEM) or reproduced on any disc, tape or information storage device(paper) without permission of publishers."

Well firstly, that makes my Blog illegal but Damn that.
Bigger Picture: During exams, we store text book info in our "brain"(atleast we try...) The Brain is the INFORMATION RETRIEVAL SYSTEM. Drawing diagrams is a violation of illegal graphic reproduction and writing answers is textual violation. So stop writing your exams.... It is Illegal. Be a good citizen and live a crime free life. If you really want to write the exams, track the publishers down, get their "Permission" and then proceed...but why go through so much trouble right?

Join the movement...BAN EXAMS!
