The DRM removal tool to remove DRM from ebooks was taken down from github and will most likely be taken down from gitlab soon as well. The more archives we have the better so im sharing the gitlab in hopes some Datahoarder types will archive it and keep it shared via torrents etc https://gitlab.com/bipinkrish/DeGourou
Edit: does anyone here use https://radicle.xyz/ ? Its a p2p network built on top of git and could be a good way to host it while still being able to contribute to it besides making a .torrent for archiving
Imagine going on the piracy Lemmy community and preaching the moral wrongs of copying.
Seriously though, DRM is a cancer. I usually pirate my books from LibGen, but I buy them on the Kobo store at the same time to support the author. It’s easy to strip DRM from Kobo and they’re better than Amazon, but I would really prefer not to support a store with DRM in the first place.
Can anyone recommend a DRM-less store? Something akin to GOG for books.

Imagine being so entitled that you think you have a right to others’ work for free.
Why do people join communities for things they hate just to shit on everyone? Are you addicted to being angry?
I didn’t join anything. It’s just at the top of my “all” feed.
I speak out because the sense of entitlement among people in this community is fucking insane.
Good luck with your moral crusade then Mr or Ms HughJanus

Piracy is more often then not a symptom of the problem rather than a problem itself.
For example, game piracy was much more common prior to steam as it was just much much more convenient to pirate at that time.
