PS: I know I already posted the same question, but I put it on a different category.Is it illegal or bad to view your textbook online?
Since you actually have the textbook, it is fine. It would be a problem if you did this instead of buying something you were supposed to buy, but if you (or the school) paid for the book, they won't object to your also checking it out online. However, if the answers to homework or tests are also available that way, and you use that information, you could be in a whole lot of trouble for cheating.
If you are looking at the teacher's edition (with the answer key) you could get in trouble with your school. If you are looking at the student's version you shouldn't get in trouble with the school, but it is possible that you're violating the textbook's terms of use. I think schools often pay extra for their students to have online access, and if your school didn't pay for that then you could theoretically get in trouble for using it.
On a practical level, it is very unlikely that you would get in legal trouble. If they do notice you accessing the site, they'll probably just send you a letter demanding that you stop. It's just not worth the bad publicity or lawyer's fees to sue a high school kid for looking at a textbook website.
So, your risk is low, but it is there. I don't think this is morally bad, but it may go against some copyright laws, and there is a very small chance that you could get into legal trouble.Is it illegal or bad to view your textbook online?
First of all it is not illegal. There are many ways to view textbooks online either free or charged. So no worries you are just putting things in your head that cannot happen. And no your not going to be tracked for it because obsviously it is a guarantee free website. But sometimes it depends on the website though in which I will recommend for you to state the website or either research on it.
I do not know if they are free or not but you can download them at http://www.textbooktorrents.com and http://www.GreenTextbooks.comIs it illegal or bad to view your textbook online?
