Why aren't there more pirated audiobooks considering how easy it is to rip them from Audible? (lemmy.ml)

edit: Libation apps needs you to give it your amazon password and ID, it's foss and I trust it. (editing because seemed important)

Amazon allows you to download the book from Audible, but you need a code/password or something like that to read it. Libation can basically convert these encrypted files into decrypted mp3 files by getting this code from the website, I am pretty sure you can get it too. So, my question is, why aren't there more pirates pirating audiobooks? Why isn't every audiobook on audible available online for free?

I mean, many are, but why is it not more prevalent?

Being american/living there is required for that, right?

You sure? Just downloaded and it required a library card.

Yes it does, i use the one from my local library even though it's not a US library. Everything is checked out on my regular library account, i just access the materials (usually the English books I read) through libby. I'm granted access to Libby through my local library.

Right but the card doesnt have those requirements. It says it does but nowhere enforces it. Chicago, new york, kentucky etc all work.

Oh, really? Damn, I'll get right on that, then. Thanks!
