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
Heres an article about why it was taken down https://torrentfreak.com/internet-archive-targets-book-drm-removal-tool-with-dmca-takedown-230714/
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

Authors are paid by the publishers upon completion of the book.
When you buy a book the publisher gets the money directly.
In some cases there is some revenue split, but that is uncommon for less well known authors. Either way, it usually isn’t very big.
There is the option to self-publish, but that is very expensive to do.

I think hugh Janus logged off this thread after so confidently insinuating that it was the pirates that don’t understand intellectual property monopolies
