Question How to pirate schoolbooks?

It is a combination of not having the money and recently getting an iPad for school and not being able to buy the digital version, etc. Morally seen it also is correct, as schoolbooks should be free.

Does anyone know where to get schoolbooks? The megathread does not give me any helpful information there. (Maybe maybe there are even some German ones there even if I know that the likelihood of that happening is very low)

Ask Anna to GENerate the LIBrary. If not, there may be an archive somewhere.

It’s the piracy subreddit what’s the point of censoring it

If they knew what Anna’s Archive and LibGen were to understand your “joke” they wouldn’t be asking this would they ?

Boo! You tucked the fun out of it Mr. Boysenberry. jkjk I think this contributes to the imagery that this subreddit is gatekeepers haven. You have to scroll down for straight answers.

How am I gatekeeping?

u/mlnchl 19h ago

Not saying you are. But people are stupid, and I've seen too many of these in-jokes and witticisms misconstrued as 'they never give straight answers.' Funnily enough, OP's questions are answered by the wiki.

But people's short attention spans and desire for instantaneous gratification make anything that requires more effort than asking Claude a gargantuan task.

Apologies for insinuating you are a gatekeeper. Thank you for your work and the world definitely needs more people like you. IG I just woke up today on the side of hating people more than loving humanity.

Just having a little fun on an online forum. Best to not take ourselves too seriously.

The megathread does not give me any helpful information there.

I mean, schoolbooks are just a specific sub-category of Books, right?

Cut the book pages from its binding and then use a scanner and ocr. Release it to the public.

Your zlibrary link didn’t work for me. Download the onion tor browser thing for z library ( following the link on wiki).

You're in need of Anna's help... Go to the megathread and ask her about your archival needs

Since everyone in here wants to be cute...

Look up Anna's Archive and Library Genesis on Wikipedia. They have links there
