What's stopping people from buying a $50 used Kindle and torrenting all the textbooks they need for

Hey ya'll, still in high-school here, but I always see people complain about how much they have to spend on schoolbooks, and I was just wondering what would stop you from just torrenting them. Would the professors care at all? Thanks.
Having just finished a degree on Film, I can say for a fact that not only did all my lecturers not care at all if we torrented any required software or textbooks, some of them even expected most of us to.
I should imagine so long as you don't do something dumb like openly declare how you've pirated everything then you'll be completely fine, but obviously that might not always be the case. As far as I know all the lecturers at my university operated under a "Don't ask don't tell" policy.
You might want to consider getting a physical copy of the main texts anyway, as it's a lot more convenient for making notes and shit.
i've personally just never been able to find the textbooks i need available to torrent. if you can find them, then go for it.
Because some people are just dumb
I'd just sink all the textbook money into an Ipad. That way I get more functionality than a Kindle and can still torrent porn and crap.
It's just I always hear people bitch about it, there must be some sort of barrier to just pirating em.
Not everyone has a kindle, some people have a conscience (seriously) and would just refuse, some people like to have their textbooks in physical form
The downside to a Kindle is that you can't write all over it or stick post-it notes in or anything like you would an actual textbook.
Well you can but you'd fuck up your Kindle.
Not a kindle, but maybe another tablet.
And there are not many textbooks for torrenting out there, yknow.
Kindles are too small - way too small. Finding textbooks isn't any problem if you're in the sciences, though.
Nexus 7, friends.
