Why aren't there more pirated audiobooks considering how easy it is to rip them from Audible? - eviltoast

edit: Libation apps needs you to give it your amazon password and ID, it’s foss and I trust it. (editing because seemed important)

Amazon allows you to download the book from Audible, but you need a code/password or something like that to read it. Libation can basically convert these encrypted files into decrypted mp3 files by getting this code from the website, I am pretty sure you can get it too. So, my question is, why aren’t there more pirates pirating audiobooks? Why isn’t every audiobook on audible available online for free?

I mean, many are, but why is it not more prevalent?

    I listen to hundreds of audiobooks and I’ve literally never been unable to find an audiobook I wanted to pirate. Audiobook/eBook piracy is huge.

      Where do you go for audiobooks? What player(s) do you use?

      Money is getting tight with some life changes and don’t know that I can afford to stick with my audible subscription.

        I use audibookbay to download, and AudiobookShelf to listen. It’s an awesome combination for DRM free audiobooks

        MyAnonaMouse (mam) is a private tracker. You have to wait for very new popular titles but it’s gotten the job done for me.

        If my private trackers don’t have what I’m looking for, DHT search engines like btdig always have my back when it comes to audiobooks.

      Holy shit! Y’all ain’t messing around!! I’ve been stuck on libby and considering subscribing to audible but that plan is officially scrapped.

      Piracy for the win!
