Yeah but then police would actually have to receive training on de-escalation. Can you imagine paying teachers more? Better to use the traveling drill instructor screaming "SHOOT OR DIE MAGGOT".
A private company is not storing petabytes of encrypted data on the chance they might turn a profit with that information later. They can't even turn a profit with the useful petabytes of videos they have on YouTube. I can rest assured that every CEO is trying to get the next round of stock buy backs going.
The government totally would harvest petabytes of encrypted data, but they're not revealing their spy program because you want to see muscle orgys. At least until a more religious government is formed.
@matcha_addict@lemy.lol In this situation, I'd advise acquiring a copy from an alternative source, then just compare the texts of the two.
In practicality though, if you're already going the OCR route then just utility knife cut the pages from a real book and feed them into a feeder scanner. All they get to know is that some asshole cyberpunk script kiddie jacked your book while you were waiting at a bus stop.
The bad news is that uploading e-books will involve programming on your part (for your sanity at least).
The good news is that it should be far easier than other mediums.
If you are approaching from a complete safety perspective (cause you live in a fiefdom that owes tribute to the publishers guild), then you're going to want to OCR the pages of the book and use the text to make a brand new book free from metadata. I'm pretty sure a python crash course could get you up and running in a month or 6.
If you want what's closest to the original product, then you'll need a python script that strips everything from the book into just a text document, then re-convert back into your own book. You'll have to review the text document to see if any random code was included in the book like invisible text.
Both options are so simple from a programming perspective that I've never seen scripts to strip e-book protections. A real (the solution is left un-worked as a challenge for the reader). And from what I know, the publishers have switched to focusing on selling hard copies as their bread and butter, and striking deals with libraries for other revenue. Big money is still in mandatory university textbooks.

Support yachts are the finest way to improve your yachting experience. Not only you will be able to increase the number of guest & crew accommodations, but also the amount of water toys & tenders that are within your fleet. Upgrapding the mothership to obtain the same results usually comes at a much heftier cost than a support vessel. In addition, the support yacht will be able to resupply the mothership while at anchor and make sure that you never run out of food, wines and all the supplies you may ever need.
Copy/pasting information/matter infinitely for the benefit of everybody? Where have I seen that before?
