Something for Nothing Edit
Company Offers Free Photocopies To Students





Think. Think long and hard. What was the worst thing you had to deal with in University? Was it the boring professors? Nope. The awful meal-plan food? Nyet. Constantly getting shut down by the campus hotties at the pub? Wrong again, my friend; we ALL know that the WORST thing in university was having to pay RIDICULOUS on-campus prices for photocopying articles that you needed in order to not spend your ENTIRE life on campus!!!

Now, an enterprising company called Tadacopy is saving thousands of Japanese University students from the same hellish fate by offering them FREE on-campus photocopies. According to www.springwise.com, advertisers pay to have a full-colour ad printed on the back of the paper, which is slightly thicker than normal paper so as not to let the ad show through.

Tadacopy machines have been placed at a few dozen campuses, and are a big hit with students. The company was founded by students at the universities of Keio, Chuo and Hosei, who installed the first free copy machine in April of last year. Nice one for student entrepreneurs to set up in other countries! You'll make some extra money, your fellow students will thank you, and local advertisers will be able to reach a targeted audience in a novel way. Like any good free love concept, it’s a win-win-win situation. (springwise)
