I have over 10 cameras.

Two web cams
One camera phone
One digital camera

The rest are film cameras of different sizes.

Everything from 35mm to 8"x10"... and I use them all B&W only at the moment.

They still make film for 35mm (I buy it 100' bulk rolls and it comes out to cost about $1.00 USD a roll)
The 120 film cameras I use cost around $3.00/roll (12 exposures a roll on average)
The 4x5 and larger cameras use sheet film that is still manufactured. $1 and up per sheet

All of this I process and print at home. I am currently researching alternative processing processes and the old printing processes as well. Keep in mind that photography was invented in the 1820's... Before people had electricity.

if you wanted to, you could process your film and prints in coffee, vinegar and salt water....

Film photography may die but chemical based photography will not die out completely.

I remember when I was in school and I wanted to run some RPGs but didn't have any of the books anymore.. I couldn't stand having PDFs so I figured I would start printing out the books, 3 hole punch them and put them in 3 ring binders. So I started with the core books and moved on to the supplements. I don't know how many pages I printed. Several thousand easy. The first page it printed was a cover page. The school started catching on to how much was being printed so they limited each print job to something like 20 pages.

I know my example is about printing and not copying, but I could see where it would help to deal with similar abuses.

I just recently set up a FreeNAS box. using an old p4 that I had laying around. Used a 100gb hard drive for the OS and installed 2tb hard drives in a RAID 1 array. I can use it to stream media or as a backup for my work. Cheap, easy and effective. I am looking at getting an Mini itx motherboard and setting up a 1u rack to save space using this idea.

Good day for overcoming obstacles. Try a steeplechase.
