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
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
Whoa, if this works it’ll greatly ease my saving of rare books… without having to reboot into Windoze to use the Adobe eBook crap and Calibre just to save an unencrypted version. Thanks!
I was going to recommend Knock as an alternative to Adobe Digital Editions that can be used from a command line in Linux but I just discovered it’s gone as well 😢
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:
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)

IIRC, Knock was basically a wrapper around this project.
The calibre (Alf) dedrm tool can work on Linux if you have your ADE set up on wine or on a windows partition

(EDIT: just read
requirements.txtit 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!
