So there is a thing I kind of pirate, but not entirely – e-books.
But thing is, our public library page has e-books and some of them are available to be read online. Now I cannot officially download them, however opening a network tab on browser console shows me a request to download the whole
.epub
file. So what I do is copy that request ascurl
and just download it via terminal.Is it piracy, probably, is this resource publicly available for me to read, definetly yes.
Other than that I don't really pirate much else.
