It seems like there is very little pirated content for schools (textbooks) in the piracy scene. Here in Germany, e-books are becoming normal in education.

So I ask you, especially the Germans among you, if you know of resources for pirated textbooks used in schools and if you are interested in such.

Such books as PDFs are actually useful, as you might imagine, since proprietary apps (several) are standard.

    Very interesting. Doing some research on private trackers. But I am not sure if private trackers would be where I would upload educational material to, because they are… private. For finding those, on the other hand, maybe

      There are private and private trackers…

      Most private trackers are built around communities. Think of it more like a co-op…rather than a pay to get content. Some people donate real money out of generosity, some people just share content.

      I prefer always to get my content first from private trackers where the content is better curated and I feel safer than going to a public tracker where the content could be just trash, you could get copyright notices, or you are just being profited from pop ups and ads. If I can’t find what I’m looking for then I go to other public sites.

      IMO you should try joining MAM… you don’t have to pay to get in. Just read the rules, and pass a simple interview. It’s a great community.
