he full\rprice.\rNancy: I agree. If the publishers don't take action against illegal publications, they and the\rauthors of the books lose money. Then the publishers have to save money by lowering\rthe quality of their books.\rRichard: That's why intellectual property rights have to be protected. It will do do good not only\rfor the publishers, but to consumers as well.\rNancy: You said it. I'm all for protecting intellectual property rights. But I also think books are\rgetting more expensive every day, and some students have no choice but yo buy cheap\rbooks.\rRichard: I beg to disagree. There is no excuse for college kids to buy mobile phones and then say\rthey can't afford books.\rNancy: But to really solve the piracy problem, we need cheaper books as well as harsher\rpunishments.
