Eh. I'm sure there's some of that going on, but if you're buying a course pack through the university book store, there's a pretty good chance you're just paying printing (it hard copy) and licensing fees.

A lot of university textbook publishers will sell the content of the books per chapter to university book stores.

Not saying you're wrong, but I've never heard of that where I went
