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?

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.
