If they don’t want people pirating books- textbooks anyway- stop making the ebook version ridiculously fucking expensive.
Pearson and Peachtree Press run a racket in scholastic literature. I’ve had professors tell the class how to pirate their own textbook rather than buying it from the campus bookstore.
I once had a faculty member tell everyone at a meeting that her students could download the required textbook at something called ebooks3000. And I looked it up quick and discovered it was a book piracy website. 🤦♂️
Nvidia doing the right thing, for the wrong reason. They need these ebook repositories to continue to exist, so their customers can buy their overpriced chips and scrape the books for training data
Cartel traffickers also care about their drug mules, at least until they reach their destination
