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?

  1. If it's available digitally from one of the many libraries I belong to, that's easier. I prefer it to Audible even.

  2. If not available by library, I can't recall the last time I wasn't able to find it through some alternative means.

Insert Pirates of the Caribbean meme about being, without doubt, the worst pirate I've ever seen.
