yeah, I found it very curageous to post about the experiment.
I wrote my experiences down in following NOT because I wanted to boast that my search-fu was better (or i had more luck) but in order to show:

a) the same but based on a different search pattern (english-version pirated books are more common than others I think, same as a lot of other things is easier to find in english like howtos etc.)

b) to show that sucsess in finding things on darknet still is a matter of luck
it might be you find only crap
might be you find 50/50
might be you find handcrafted gems

it might depend on what you look for, how you do it and even when you do it.
i know that a lot of said books I reported weren't there 1 month ago altough they are several years old now.

so no kicking here too.

footnote: in order to allow compareability with my results here some facts:

a) I haven't used any special means of transferring or access to the data like BT or one of that pesty P2P viral spreaders
as I pointed out already I have said books already in paper (the same languages) so its ok for me to have them scanned but would not be right to automatically redistribute since I cannot know wether people loading from me bought them too before.

b) I first search for places to search for the content
then search inside ther for content itself
