Hello everyone,
 
This semester I am using a new edition of a West textbook for a upper division course.  Students sought out the book online and have appeared with "International Student Versions" in the class.  These versions are identical but are in a paperback format.  Strategically placed stickers advertise the website where the book was obtained.  If you lift up the stickers, the book states in big letters that the textbook is not to be sold or used in the United States.  Conveniently, the course is international business law and I used the book as an example of the international gray market.  Am I right as to what these textbooks are?  Are there any other legal issues relevant to these rogue texts appearing in class?
 
Thanks!
