They are a "surprise" because if they weren't people would just go download them themselves for free ... Roll Eyes

Or...buy it from the people who learned their profession to produce it?

If whatever is being downloaded is worth it, people will buy it anyway Tongue

but that's a whole different debate really.

I'll get off my high horse and admit that I do torrent as well.

I pay by flogging myself later on

As far as I am aware it is not exactly illegal to try and make money from things that are published under public domain. BUT, why should someone pay for something that he can get for free?

Newbies, don't buy pirated goods, just download them for free off Bittorrent instead so these assholes have to go and learn a real profession Tongue

Also the download links are "Surprise Book", sounds super sketchy to the average consumer

I'm almost inclined to say this is illegal.

And a half-assed attempt at making some BTC.

Take free books, I'm assuming it's books like Moby Dick, Lord of the Flies, Tale of Two Cities etc, then sell a random link?

I decided to set up this mini gambling business. You don't get money in return, but you may get some interesting knowledge or entertainment, or you may get something that's completely uninteresting to you.

None of the books are mine, they are old public domain books I found on the internet. Out of the millions of public domain books out there, there are thirteen mystery ones here.

I uploaded them all on CoinUploads. All files are in PDF format.

Anyways, I was looking for a PDF viewer which displays PDF files like a book. I found Soda PDF 3D Reader, and it's almost perfect, except on the first page of a PDF file, it repetitively lifts and lowers the corner of the page, (as an indication to "turn the page!") and I can't find a way to disable it. Do you know of another "book-like" PDF viewer which doesn't do that, or should we send a million letters to the company who made Soda PDF asking them for an option to disable it?

I would prefer that you do not reveal the names of the books, but otherwise, let me know what you think.
