The DRM removal tool to remove DRM from ebooks was taken down from github and will most likely be taken down from gitlab soon as well. The more archives we have the better so im sharing the gitlab in hopes some Datahoarder types will archive it and keep it shared via torrents etc https://gitlab.com/bipinkrish/DeGourou

Heres an article about why it was taken down https://torrentfreak.com/internet-archive-targets-book-drm-removal-tool-with-dmca-takedown-230714/

Edit: does anyone here use https://radicle.xyz/ ? Its a p2p network built on top of git and could be a good way to host it while still being able to contribute to it besides making a .torrent for archiving

    I just checked your three examples. All of them accept donations of various forms and Lichess also has a merch shop :)

    Oh, by the way, your previous point about piracy. You might not be aware, but it’s a huge industry as well with plenty of money going around.

      Again, that’s fine? You said Gitea has no future because there’s no company trying to sell premium features behind it. A merch shop and donations aren’t remotely similar to the relationship between Canonical and Ubuntu, and aren’t commercializing the project or making its fundamental purpose profit-driven.
