I say it’s not a crime. In my eyes, it isn’t 🤷. Doesn’t mean I’m right, doesn’t mean the law is on my side. It just means when I ask myself “Am I commiting a crime right now 🤔?” when pirating, I just don’t feel any guilt at all… none, I sleep like a baby.

That being said, I protect myself as best as I can (financially wise as well). I just don’t live in a country where these laws are actually enforced. There hasn’t been a single piracy related trial here… ever. So, once again, I sleep like a baby… if I’m the first one, hey, so be it, someone’s gotta burn first, right 🤷.

When life gives you a neighbour with a wall sized TV, you seize the moment 🤷.

qpdf is very powerful. If OP is comfortable with the terminal, I’d recommend qpdf.

Why not just print it to PDF. It doesn’t lose any data, plus it doesn’t take ages to scan the books.
