I'd like to clarify that removing DRM does lie in a grey zone in many countries, including in the US due to some court rulings. In some countries the right to make a backup of your e-book might have priority over copyright law for example.

Interesting to see arrests still happening towards private trackers. I wonder how the Nordics fares nowadays when it comes to being the Mecca of filesharing, feels like the golden days have passed since long ago.

Thanks for sharing! I'll try it out myself on KOReader :) Feel free to post on !ereader@lemmy.world as well

I started with yoga and did it for over a year before I started going to the gym again. Fully doable

Please share the dictionary when available.

Great comment, agree!

Yeah, I think I agree with you tbh

I'd say a fair idea is to host your own personal website with your resume, if you're capable and/or want to learn. There are often examples you can base your portfolio on.

I feel it too!

One of the worlds greatest wonders

Crazy amount of upvotes though? Surprised to see that so many like Lemmy on reddit!

Been switching between Literata and Vollkorn on my ereader. It's super subjective in the end

I used it for a bit on my e-reader but decided to switch away from it. It's quite good either way.

To be honest I don't like their name so I've been avoiding it just for that reason

Thanks for this! This should maybe be posted in a separate thread in a relevant community? !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com could be an alternative, but at the same time, DeDRMing does not always equal piracy (and is a legal thing to do in many countries in cases of personal backups etc).

Thanks for changing your mind :)

Why is DRM necessary? In the EU, many countries mostly just use digital watermarking for their native language e-books bought from stores (e.g. Germany and the Nordics). We got the music industry to get rid of DRM on music files. I'd argue watermarking is enough to discourage people, and no matter the DRM or no DRM all books still find their way to shadow libraries. I agree, as Terence also argues, that this is a very non-intrusive DRM, but which still has many problems of.. just being a DRM solution for one. The licensing fee to allow support for LCP is also absurd, and ranges from a few thousand USD to tens of thousands. There are therefore no FOSS apps capable of supporting the DRM, like KOReader or Librera. The solution in itself is not fully FOSS either.

And aren't you annoyed by their arrogant tone and how they try to blame, guilt, and threaten their way forward?

I'm not in the US. But from my research, it seems to not be as clear-cut as you state even in the US (e.g, https://gizmodo.com/its-perfectly-legal-to-tell-people-how-to-remove-drm-1670223538). The DMCA takedown issued to the NoDRM team was for including copyrighted LCP code from my understanding.

Either way, for this specific case, they had no legal grounds at all to threaten the guy.
