What's the deal with ebooks and torrenting/downloading?
Just got an ereader and am curious about this. I've gotten a couple letters in the past from my ISP for torrenting other stuff. Question is do publishers actually come after people pirating ebooks as strictly as music/movies? I primarily use libgen and pirate bay. (Forgot to use my vpn so now I'm curious)

imo you are a retard for torrenting books. you can find a regular old download file online for any book without needing to resort to torrenting. why torrent and risk it when you can just find a download without any risk?
Thomas Torres
>imo you are a retard for torrenting books. you can find a regular old download file online for any book without needing to resort to torrenting. why torrent and risk it when you can just find a download without any risk? Because all the regular downloads seem to be crap. Unless you can recommend me sites, instead of calling someone a retard immediately.
Robert Price
You can also download books on that site.
Andrew Butler
google "ebook irc"
Dylan Gonzalez
I know. It's also the only decent place I've found for that. My question is the strictness in general. Torrent or download. Basically some sort of program you download and search for books. Can 3rd parties find your ip from it?
William Lopez
Do you read books for retards? If not, no, publishers don't honeypot them. (quick way to tell whether you read books for retards: if torrents for these books have over several dozens of peers, you read books for retards)
Adrian Lee
I guess I read one book for retards. Besides that no. Everything is 5 or less on average.
Elijah Powell
I'm confused, is libgen a torrent site? Been so long since I used a torrent site (that is, unless libgen is).
I might start though, because I want to find more contemporary audio books not available on librivox.
David White
It's mostly downloads as far as I know, some torrents if you want them.
Connor Torres
How much torrenting did you have to do to get an ISP complaint?
Gabriel Phillips
i've downloaded hundreds of books from libgen and never heard anything from my ISP. You are fine.
Thomas White
Not OP, but I downloaded one movie at a friend's house a few years ago and they literally shut his internet off for it. Made him call to get it back and running and called it strike one. Shit seems ridiculous now, but then again I was rolling in the bad old days of Napster and limewire.
Lucas Edwards
I got one maybe 7 years ago and one about a year or 2 ago. I was usually downloading at least 5 music albums at a time when I did torrents. But this was only occasionally, maybe once a month or less. Both times they got me for one specific album, usually something newer.
Gavin Rogers
Torrenting books is an impossibility unless you only read the "classics" or ultra popular trash. I can't find a single niche book on there that I want.
Asher Foster
Napster? So they shut down his dialup?
Cameron Miller
I once downloaded porno at my fathers house because he had really fast internet. Got a call a few days later from him asking if I downloaded porno. Very awkward moment.
Brody Russell
use avax search, just google it for the latest mirror. Also use Vity's free rapid to dl from the links without going through the ad bait.
Gabriel Thomas
avaxsearch dot pro is confirmed to work, usual mirrors are nitroflare and rapidgator, which are slow as shit but the filesizes are ~5mb so it doesn't matter much. If it doesn't have a free rapid plugin it's a fake link.
Avaxsearch is basically like rs.Veeky Forums used to be like back in the day, except not porn.
Benjamin Thompson
I've been torrenting everything for years with no VPN, hundreds of movies, thousands of songs, books, video games, programs and I never received anything from my ISP
Brandon Parker
Depends on the country you're from.
Aiden Scott
Bro, I can't possibly imagine they can catch you pirating like that. Honestly, the state law isn't guilty that you are too IT-illiterate to prevent getting caught.
Michael Barnes
How do retards like this even find Veeky Forums. You seriously require help finding free ebooks? >Babby tier libgen dot io public torrent trackers shaddy Chinese direct download sites >Experienced tier usenet #Bookz / #ebooks on irc github private facebook groups tumblr dump sites >/setforlife/ tier private torrent trackers like bib***** doing the amazon trick of returning ebooks for a full refund hacking public libraries OverDrive systems
Colton Ross
Can you please send me an invite to bib? I've been trying for months, for fuck's sake
Juan Kelly
github?
Ian Hughes
No, even though I have invites I'm not risking my account for some unknown from Veeky Forums. Get in the same way everyone else does. You're looking at 3 months of legwork but just do it already. google github free books
Nathaniel Rivera
I won't break any rules, my man. Upload 100 torrents and permaseed them, I know.
PLEASE
Brody Lewis
I don't know you so how could I trust you.
Gabriel Evans
Damn, alright man
Jordan Hughes
Kek the unwashed masses will never enter bib
Christian Harris
It's because it requires minimal effort. Meanwhile I'm sitting comfy with massive buffers on the best private trackers. Feels bretty good.
Jaxson Scott
Bib is just endless programming books anyway.
Dylan Wood
MOMMY
Asher Hernandez
That's not the point user. Having a bib account means you are better than these PLEBS who don't have one.
Aiden Ward
>being too poor to afford to buy books lmao
trackers are for paupers
Michael Wright
If I like it enough I'll buy it in physical form. I'm not wasting my money on something that I mightn't like.
Isaiah Watson
Its mostly movies and music that will get you busted. Especially if they were recently released. I suggest against torrenting anything newer than 1.5 years old from its release date.
No one gives a shit about books to my experience
Samuel Peterson
>private torrent trackers like bib***** wait what
Ayden Bailey
Bibliotik

It's called stealing, ya goof, and one of the Ten Commandments forbids it.
Brody Jackson
>oh noes I'm worried that the feds will bust me for stealing a tiny digital file that is physically only available secondhand in some musty basement store in some random city
Adrian Lee
>oh noes law enforcement might enforce the law
Adrian Torres
How often is Amazon going to let you do that haha
Dominic Myers
don't torrent, if your cunt monitors such things you'll get fucked eventually. it's not publishers coming after you, it's the law coming after you.
Joseph Williams
Can I get an invitation, please? I'm poor :(
Chase Edwards
But libgen is literally the largest collection of ebooks there exists
Blake Anderson
Yeah, it's one of those cases where it deserves to be on both babby-tier and GOAT-tier categories.
Elijah Robinson
Forum.mobilism has regular dl and plenty of books.
Kevin Martinez
Are all you people here computer illiterate? Jesus Christ. In fact you might be wholly illiterate
Alexander Clark
Third-worlder here, can confirm ISPs don't give a shit
Colton Brooks
>mama >just stole a book
Isaiah Kelly
From what I have heard they catch you from when you are seeding after you've downloaded the material, they track you from that and then "prosecute" which I mainly just warning trying to scare people, which is insanely ineffective which leads one to question their reasoning, it must be a legal step they have to take towards actually drawing blood from the stone. You wont get in trouble for downloading off libgen or anything like that because you're downloading directly from a source and not sharing it yourself.
Isaiah Thomas
>what is registering
Kayden Moore
Sharing your IP is not a security risk in any sense.
Nathaniel Martin
> I've gotten a couple letters in the past from my ISP for torrenting other stuff. Top kek. Are you trolling or do you live in North Korea?
Ethan Reyes
>doing the amazon trick of returning ebooks for a full refund after a few times doing this it no longer gave me a refund, instead prompting me to call customer service. so proceed with caution
fyi most of the stuff on bibliotik comes from libgen. #ebooks takes way too long and most of that you can find on libgen anyways. bib is useful for recent publications. aaaaaarg is good too. i've found things there that werent on bib or libgen
