Sorry, no idea. I just shared the guide

Maybe BakaBT? Not as hard to get into as AB.

Thank you for this. I posted another guide to my new community [email protected], but I’ll post yours too on there.

I’d like to clarify that removing DRM does lie in a grey zone in many countries, including in the US due to some court rulings. In some countries the right to make a backup of your e-book might have priority over copyright law for example.

Interesting to see arrests still happening towards private trackers. I wonder how the Nordics fares nowadays when it comes to being the Mecca of filesharing, feels like the golden days have passed since long ago.

Thanks for sharing! I’ll try it out myself on KOReader :) Feel free to post on [email protected] as well

Please share the dictionary when available.

Thanks for changing your mind :)

Why is DRM necessary? In the EU, many countries mostly just use digital watermarking for their native language e-books bought from stores (e.g. Germany and the Nordics). We got the music industry to get rid of DRM on music files. I’d argue watermarking is enough to discourage people, and no matter the DRM or no DRM all books still find their way to shadow libraries. I agree, as Terence also argues, that this is a very non-intrusive DRM, but which still has many problems of… just being a DRM solution for one. The licensing fee to allow support for LCP is also absurd, and ranges from a few thousand USD to tens of thousands. There are therefore no FOSS apps capable of supporting the DRM, like KOReader or Librera. The solution in itself is not fully FOSS either.

And aren’t you annoyed by their arrogant tone and how they try to blame, guilt, and threaten their way forward?

Yep. Just hoping that as LCP gains prominence, there’ll be more work to try and DeDRM it. Right now it’s mostly EU that’s pushing it

Independent documentaries can be, from my experience, quite hard to find and even purchase. They often have limited screenings, do not get any physical releases or to streaming services, and sometimes end up with licensing issues after some years if they’ve licensed music and sound for example. Maybe PTP has them, but I wouldn’t bet on it.

Yeah but as I said, shadow libraries are usually very lacking in many smaller languages that are not English or Chinese for example.

Visited Hong Kong for the first time last year. It was great, I really enjoyed it. It also made me want to learn Cantonese after my Mandarin haha.

I do not know about this specific case, but many cracked copies are true false-positives. Only 28/74 flagged it as malicious. Sure, do your due diligence, but in general it’ll be picked by antiviruses as malware.

I’ve never heard of someone sharing university course material on a tracker or similar for people to download. But have you checked whether there are any MOOCs from reputable universities that are similar to the one you linked? They are often free.
