I'm taking a p hard science class this semester.
The class comes with a lab manual.
I went to the publisher's website and found the answer key to the lab manual for sale "for instructors only."
Basically, on top of paying $35 you had to be able to prove you were a college professor teaching this publisher's material in your course.
Without much effort at all (seriously, I'm a fucking retard and I can't believe what I tried fucking worked holy SHIT) I gained access to the complete answer key in .pdf format ON THE PUBLISHER'S SITE. All I did was look at the source code for the link, pick out a .pdf, and copied it into the URL bar. And there it was.
Anyway, I have the file up in a tab right now and I'm prepared to download it but
1. I'm afraid I could be traced and ultimately identified and thrown out of class/barred from ever getting in to this program again
2. I'm a little guilt ridden at the thought of having the answers to the homework for the semester
Now, the fact is, I want to do well in this class. And even if I cheated on all the homework, I'd have to pass the tests and the lab activities, etc to pass the class. I don't intend to copy straight outta the lab manual, in fact, I think it could be an asset to being certain I'm actually learning this shit.
But I'm way scared of being caught by the publisher and sued/fined/shamed and thrown out of my program.
Can I be traced/caught by doing this?
Is there any risk?
Thanks, /adv/.

Don't worry you won't use math in real life anyway so cheat away.

no one will care. the publisher is not tracing all visitors to their website.

Another question:
I was wrong. There are 6 total .pdf parts to this document.
I got all 6 direct download URLs and put them in to a text document. So, if I
2. Put that doc on to a tablet
3. Go to McDonalds, connect to their wifi
4. Copy paste each URL and download the .pdfs on to that tablet over McDonald's wifi
5 And transfer them to this PC
Would it be safe?
Also, are Orbot/Orfox worth a shit?

If you're so paranoid about downloading, take screenshots of the pdf. I doubt some publishers gonna be able to track that, if they even have enough of a shit to track who visits their website

There is minimal to no risk at all but if you wanna make 100% sure nothing happens the screencap it all instead of downloading it.

Dude people if it was that easy to get btfod by the law you think there would still be so many people illegaly downloading games, music, films, software, books, hell even Bomb making manuals.
But if you still feel paranoid do what these two recommended >>17471823 >>17471844, its impossible to trace it back since you never interacted with the original PDF but only made a visually same file.

I thought about this, but /g/ said that just having opened the .pdf in my browser was downloading it. And it's in 5 parts, so I'd have to open/"download" 5 of them, making me way more likely to get tracked.
I have direct links to the PDFs, I'm just scared to open any more of them. I wish I knew if they could see me and if it was actually registering as my IP downloading them.
Also, why the fuck does /adv/ keep giving me connection errors when i try to reply to specific posts?
