I have a funny storry:
there is a book I really wanted to read. It is an old af psychology science book. There is no pirated version of it anywhere.
I found one copy of it on the used market and bought it because the price was ok (70$).
At home, I open it up and go through it properly and see that THE MOST IMPORTANT CHAPTER WAS CUT OUT!!! Literally there were the ends of the pages still bound with strings and you can see a wavy scalpel cut where the rest of the page would be.
Thats the physical equivalent of an incomplete torrent. Felt so bad.
Who would do this 😭
Before it was sold, it was at a university library. The uni I went to had an open library, so anybody could come in. So either a student or somebody from the public, I guess.
A madman.
