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 think I understand your meaning.

    There’s a cost barrier as Audible is a pay-per-item service.

    I think you’re running up against a wall with your ‘he’s not a real Scott’ argument.

      honestly i was never making the “you aren’t a real pirate” argument, people just want to have that fight, i don’t care what people are or are not. but yeah you hit on the head
