Gyldendal Uddannelse<\/em> and chair of the interest group Danish Publishers educational book committee. The illegal sharing has consequences, he says.<\/p>\n\u00bbThe extent of illegal sharing among students has reached such a significant scale that it is a real threat to the entire market for Danish textbooks. If this continues, we may find ourselves with no sustainable textbook market in Denmark at all,\u00ab he says.<\/p>\n
According to the publishing director, the fragile financial underpinning of the market will\u00a0lead to fewer Danish-language teaching resources and lower teaching quality.<\/p>\n
