This study investigates the usage dynamics of Dirzon, a cloud-based file-sharing platform widely utilized in Ethiopia for distributing educational PDFs. Using the platform’s "Top" or most-downloaded content as a dataset, we analyze the types of books, subjects, and copyright statuses of the most popular files. Employing a digital ethnography and content analysis approach, we sampled the top 100 most frequently accessed PDFs over a three-month period. Results indicate that 68% of "Top" PDFs are academic textbooks (STEM, Engineering, and Medicine), 22% are language learning materials, and 10% are fiction. Crucially, 85% of these top-circulating books lack clear open-access licenses, suggesting widespread copyright infringement. We conclude that while Dirzon democratizes access to expensive educational resources, it operates in a legal grey zone. Recommendations include advocating for university-sponsored open-access repositories and promoting digital literacy regarding intellectual property.
