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

Someone upload this one to sourcehut. I'm really curious to see how Drew will response to DMCA like that

If I see any other clones show up I'll add them to my private clone as remotes.

This way I can easily collate any updates they receive and, if they all start disappearing I'll be able to re-publish it somewhere anonymously.

Hopefully that provides another tricky target for take-down whack-a-mole.

I am glad that others saved the source code elsewhere and kept it alive. How does deDRM_tools by noDRM avoid takedown due to piracy? I use that on a regular basis, and I am afraid that it might be taken down someday, and surprised that it is alive for so long. How has it stayed alive for so long?

Hi, i am the author of the tool. I just read all the comments after 6 months, i didn't know it was popular.

My original repo with new modifications is live on Gitea https://gitea.com/bipinkrish/DeGourou

you can visit there to get binaries or simply install through pip like

pip install git+https://gitea.com/bipinkrish/DeGourou.git

Heads up, the GitLab is gone.

The user is blocked as well.

BACKUP ALL MIRRORS. THIS IS NOT A DRILL.
