I’m fairly new to piracy overall, but I feel like I understand the basics of how to avoid my ISP and such. A family member who’s in college texted me the other day asking how she could pirate textbooks and I realized I’d never thought about it. Any tips for pirating textbooks? Safe sites?

    Lots of good advice in this thread, BUT I would set expectations with your family that you probably won’t be able to find brand new textbooks. Books generally don’t get uploaded unless it has been a few years since they was published. So check the publication date before you get your hopes up.

      Publication date doesn’t really matter much at my uni, since the only differences would be chapter and page number. I easily make do with the search function in the pdf. …for now. I’m not sure about upper level courses yet.
