PDF Piracy (lemmy.world)

I am officially an old person, as I have subscribed to a magazine. It’s niche, but it’s been around a long time, and having enjoyed a lot of issues in my childhood that were given to me for free, I feel I should give back.

I’m wondering if there are precautions I should take. Can any sort of copy protection be put into PDFs that I should strip out? If I share them as a torrent, should I be worried that the publisher can tell where they came from?

Yeah, for sure

  1. download it to kindle 2: transfer azw/mobi file to computer 3: open calibre and install DeDRM 4: drag and drop books into calibre 5: calibre is auto de-drm'ing the books so you can now convert them to any format you want or just backup the books
