If you can, please update the readme download section since the releases button and git command still point to the old GitHub
Good call. I'll try and do that but I am easily distracted so may end up disappointing you
Edit: Should be good now
Hi, i am the author of the tool. I just read all the comments after 6 months, i didn't know it was popular.
My original repo with new modifications is live on Gitea https://gitea.com/bipinkrish/DeGourou
you can visit there to get binaries or simply install through pip like
pip install git+https://gitea.com/bipinkrish/DeGourou.git
Imagine buying books and not being able to do with them what you like
Imagine spending years writing a book for the benefit of others, only to have it downloaded, stripped of it's licensing and given away to others for free and being robbed of compensation for the time you invested.
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.
Imagine buying a physical book, reading it, and putting it on the bookshelf in your living room, only to have family members and friends borrow it and read it for free.
Yes because that's totally the same as xeroxing someone else's work and handing it out in the street to anyone who wants it, all day every day.
Those public libraries are ruining it for everybody!
Those public libraries pay to have those books on their shelves 🤦♂️
Someone upload this one to sourcehut. I'm really curious to see how Drew will response to DMCA like that
more reasons to self-host
I am glad that others saved the source code elsewhere and kept it alive. How does deDRM_tools by noDRM avoid takedown due to piracy? I use that on a regular basis, and I am afraid that it might be taken down someday, and surprised that it is alive for so long. How has it stayed alive for so long?
Is there a working drm removal tool for kindle books?
Yeah, use calibre and the drm removal plugin https://www.cloudwards.net/remove-drm-from-kindle-books/
