I didn’t buy a single book in community college. Thank you private torrent sites!

My country has relaxed laws on piracy, so we had almost no books in our university, teachers just sent up pirated PDFs in a group chat

i stopped after the time when amazon came around, with books only and through google search i was able to get one book off. that was a little year before transfered toa 4 year, then i really was on the hunt at the time for torrented/free book downloads. yea those online access and professor exclusive books were annoying.

Yeah, you were pretty boned back then. Bibliotik private tracker started around 2011 or so, but it was almost impossible to get into back then, and it remains that difficult today. I lost my account, so I’m screwed. That was far and away the BEST resource for that sort of thing.

Unfortunately a lot of the fucking publishers are getting aware of this fact and they’re doing one-time codes now
