Dave, Princeton has announced this program to "sell" rights-managed
textbooks to ugrads.  Actually allows downloading one heavily
copy-protected pdf to one machine.  All very silly and the object of a
fair amount of criticism, such as:

What's unusual about that is that Princeton's lawyers responded to that
posting and made it clear where they stand on protecting intellectual
property.
