These particular PDF files and .TXT files do not have DRM protection so I'm not even trying to defeat any form of DRM protection.
There are other files on Scribd that have this DRM protection but I have no interest in circumventing this.
Also, I'm only talking about 1 PDF file/.TXT file not a whole bunch.
I hope I'm being clear. |
It doesn't really matter if you are talking about 1 file or 1000 files. Whether or not the ebooks are protected by DRM also doesn't matter. Once your subscription to Scribd has expired, you no longer have the right to access those files. Any backups you may have made should be deleted when your subscription expires.
Trying to justify ebook piracy by stating "I am only going to pirate one book" is not helpful. If you downloaded a book from your local library, would you feel entitled to keep a copy after your loan expired?
