Left Piracy

idk which sub to post this and this is the closest thing i got to this question's subject

there was some controversy about whatsapp's user agreements here in turkey and my party's unit group migrated from whatsapp to... telegram.

Yeh it's going down. this is just the beginning:

A comrade said I should look into .apk if I want to scan books. Anyone know what this is?

Edit: in the meantime for the interested, here's a mediafire link with a PDF and GPX file I made from a youtube tutorial for the intro of GOAT. http://www.mediafire.com/file/h2b3ps4w2na6ded/GOAT.zip/file

I discovered this amazing prog metal band called Polyphia and their most famous song, GOAT. It's been tabbed by hobbyists in many, many versions but the record company has pulled down all of these amateur tablatures.

That means until further notice, to get the tabs to this incredible song, one has to purchase the official tab book (which includes GPX and PDF files) for 20 dollars on their website.

I figured we shouldn't stand for this, and since I was unable to find a cracked tab book, I figured I'd try my luck here.

The idea is that if a few people are interested in this book, I will purchase it with my own money, and if I you can use the files (provided there's no DRM or I can crack it), only then will we split the cost. Or post them on this page if it's okay with the contributors.

I only need three more people and it's only 5 bucks each for the full tab book. If I can't get the files to work on your computer, then I'll cover the whole cost myself. 20 bucks isn't that much but hey, 5 bucks would be even better and then we can even spread the music so it reaches more people.

If there's a lot of interest we can spring for the complete pack which is only an extra 20 dollars (don't know how many guitarists we are on this website lol).

title.

This is a torrent I've been seeding for a while, it's pretty good.

Torrent description:

A collection of books that pertain to socialist/worker's-movement theory, history, movements or figures, with a focus on more recent works that aren't often available on public-domain archives. Not every book is explicitly socialist in outlook; there are a handful of books in here that just relate to important developments in history that might be interesting to a socialist (for example, King Leopold's Ghost, a study of the horrors of Belgian colonialism in the Congo Free State, or Judith Butler's Undoing Gender.)

A mixed bag of formats; EPUB and MOBI when possible, PDF otherwise, with some HTML, TXT and DOC mixed in when totally unavoidable.

Let me know if you find more and I will add them.

You should assume that US and Israeli intelligence services can read everything in your Protonmail.

Other encrypted webmail providers should also be regarded with suspicion for similar reasons

After we get a few, I'll make a sticky for the best ones.

I have now editied the link to the real page since the old link redirected to a bunch of bs.

Over the years I've gotten pretty good at subverting intellectual property and copyright, so I thought I'd take a few minutes to lay out the places I normally go to find things.

---- General ----

Snahp.it - successor to r/MegaLinks. Has media of all times spanning from movies, tv shows, music, books, games, computer software,etc. Really good place to look for just about everything. Registration Required.

Mobilism - Site that has mostly ebooks, audiobooks, and cracked apps for android and ios (jailbreak only). Registration required to use search.

The Eye - An archive site filled with random shit. You can find a lot of stuff there. I've used it for linux games and roms.

---- Books ----

B-ok - Main site I go to for books.

Archive.org - Not piracy, but a really good source for older books.

Library Genesis - Search engine for books and research paper. Probably really useful but I don't use it very often.

IRC - Good place to check if b-ok doesn't have what you're looking for. Requires an irc client. Guide to setting one up: https://archive.is/j7By6

Audiobook Bay - place for audiobooks. Uses torrents and requires a registration.

Another thing that's kind of useful is the ability to remove DRM from ebooks that you've bought or that you've borrowed from archive.org. If you have any interest in that there's a plugin for Calibre (ebook management software) here and instructions: https://apprenticealf.wordpress.com/2012/09/10/drm-removal-tools-for-ebooks/

---- Research Papers ----

Sci-Hub - sci-hub isn't a search engine for research papers so you're going to have to use googlescholar or another search engine and then either copy the title into sci-hub. It normally recognizes titles, but DOIs are unique and preferable. DOIs have a format similar to this: 10.2105/ajph.76.6.661

SemanticScholar - Similar to GoogleScholar. It's the research search engine I use, it often has pdfs available for research papers.

Library Genesis - Search engine for research papers and books.

---- Tips ----

Given that none of these are torrents/rely on P2P there's less of a risk to not having a vpn because they only interactions that are had are from you to a server, however, it's always a good idea to have a vpn or to use tor browser.

When torrenting, using tor isn't enough. Torrent clients can still leak your ip address even if proxy settings are configured to go through tor. If you don't have/can't get a vpn, I recommend using Whonix. It's a little advanced.

It's been years since I've pirated anything more than a game or some music, and I've honestly forgotten where to go for good .tors, what VPN / IP changers to use, etc. So could someone give me some suggestions?
