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

Update: This is awesome. To get it working I had to install some python3 dependencies since I'd recently upgraded my box. If the main DeGourou.py script isn't running, try installing these:

$ pip3 install lxml pycryptodome cryptography charset_normalizer

(EDIT: just read requirements.txt it gives the above and some other dependencies. Duh.)

Then download, while logged into archive.org, your borrowed book (download link should be "URLLink.acsm"; then run

$ python3 ./DeGourou.py -f /tmp/URLLink.acsm

... and the PDF with its proper filename will be saved into the curret directory.

pip install -r requirements.txt

That's how you install everything a project needs ;)

Thank you :) I didn't realize it was literally a script to install requirements!

It's not. It's a list of packages that python, when it sees the list, knows to download whilst maintaining compatibility and prevent circular dependencies (if possible)
