Pirates don't use audible. More to the point you still have to buy books on audible. So no one is just automatically ripping everything
IDK, I rip literally everything I buy on audible. I have been since they replaced RC Bray with fucking Wil Wheton for The Martian. I want the version I paid for and I'm going to keep it goddamnit!
Probably a stupid question, but how do you rip the drm? I hate having to use my phone to listen to it in my car, for example, and I don't have unlimited data or an audio jack (I know, I can download the app, and have play through that, I don't want their stupid app). I want to load an mp3 on my thumb drive, and plug that into the car, and leave it in the car until I need to load a new mp3. I've done a recording, but have to let it run the length of the program, and that's just annoying.
This is the app I use, It strips the DRM and converts to mp3 or M4A files:

This is amazing! Thank you!!
Yes, me too. Mainly because I don't want to use the audible app.
But that's not the point, pirates are able to pirate every netflix show because netflix let's you access everything. This is not how audible works
So, if I purchase things and make them available for free to those who want it, I'm not a pirate, I'm only a pirate if I don't pay for the things I supply?
Maybe I fit into a different category but I pay for what I can, torrent what I can't, but seed all of it.
I think I understand your meaning.
I think you're running up against a wall with your 'he's not a real Scott' argument.
honestly i was never making the "you aren't a real pirate" argument, people just want to have that fight, i don't care what people are or are not. but yeah you hit on the head
One guy buys, rips DRM, uploads to pirates. That's how almost all piracy works, someone usually had to buy a legit copy.
historically, no. most pirated content comes via centralized sources. The last time I was involved in anything like this it was people at stores who could rip dvds, cds, games because they worked there and would get a kickback, that's how different groups (those words at the end of the filename) would get the relases
The centralized pirate guys need to get the content from somewhere. Usually by cracking or obtaining a retail copy, rarely by stealing one.
please read literally the second sentence of what i said.
