I was expecting the worst when I started to read this article, but the author's careful attention to detail, and especially care taken to consider the 'double charging' that would result were it not recognized that students are alreay paying a substantial proportion of author costs, leads to this surprise conclusion: "The three-step syllabus rule provides a sound rationale for charging each student $1.40 per year to cover royalty charges for readings assigned in Canadian university courses." Well done!
