South Korean students engaging digital shoplifting

The whole thing smacks of a bored journalist blowing a story way out of proportion during a slow news month, but a South Korean newspaper is reporting about a new problem affecting bookstores there: students taking illegal pics of the pages they need from expensive textbooks (to write reports or study or whatever) rather than actually buying the whole book. Not that it's not happening or anything, just that you'd think students would just hit up a library where they actually have photocopiers right there waiting for you.
