Anarcho DoggoThere is a special joy in pirating $300 university textbooks.
$200 to rent it for the term? $150 for a digital rental? Lol get fucked
filetype:pdf site:archive.org ftw
lynn / clarissa@AnarchoDoggo I literally just give my students libgen links and tell them that academic publishing is a scam
Michael Roberts@AnarchoDoggo Anna's Archive frequently has ebook versions that are much smaller files (and better proofread) than the massive archive.org OCR scans.
@vivtek thanks! Will check that out
Lauren by RL Stan Account@AnarchoDoggo @vivtek Vouching for Anna's Archive. They're a mirror of SciHub/LibGen and scrape a few other sources. They're a hugely useful resource.
WobblyElmerSpecially when you go to sell it back at the end of term and the bookstore is all...
"Sorry, we aren't using that one any more so we can't buy it back."

Tobias Fiebig@AnarchoDoggo I still cherish my distributed systems lecturer for having used his book (the course book also written by him) when explaining bitorrent. I mean, literarily. A PDF of the book as the example being downloaded when demonstrating bitorrent.
Or how i usually put it when students ask whether they 'have to buy $coursebook':
"I don't care whether you buy it; I want you to read it."

Perhaps. It's still stealing someone else's intellectual property. Hopefully not something you endorse.
