| None of the materials seem to recognize that technology has also
| changed the production, promotion and distribution of new works,
| and none seem to recognize that content creation can come from
| those outside of the big corporate entities who paid for these
| materials in the first place. Again, it's worth asking: why does
| any educational institution or education professional use such
| obviously biased (and at times misleading) educational materials?

| amounts.
