Why aren't there more pirated audiobooks considering how easy it is to rip them from Audible? (lemmy.ml)

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?

Y'all ever hear of Libby app? It's like piracy with fewer steps.

Being american/living there is required for that, right?

You sure? Just downloaded and it required a library card.

Right but the card doesnt have those requirements. It says it does but nowhere enforces it. Chicago, new york, kentucky etc all work.

Oh, really? Damn, I'll get right on that, then. Thanks!

Yes it does, i use the one from my local library even though it's not a US library. Everything is checked out on my regular library account, i just access the materials (usually the English books I read) through libby. I'm granted access to Libby through my local library.

I like to add a step back in, where I rip the audiobook and then return the rental to the library. Others get to listen, and I have a copy for whenever I actually get around to listening to it :-)

I do this with ebooks from them. Just download the epub, strip the DRM, return immediately so someone else can read it and i have my DRM-free offline copy for whenever i have time to read it.

How does one rip from Libby? The analog hole?

It’s gotten harder lately, the old app would just straight let you download mp3 files by chapter. It’s a bit more complicated now.

I believe this is what I used last time. https://github.com/chbrown/overdrive
