They cite Kaggle as the dataset source, but that entry reads:
About Dataset This dataset contains 7 txt files of 7 books of Harry Potter. First, I downloaded the ebooks and then converted them to txt files. I removed the front page and the ending lines of the books to make it more clean. This dataset can be used for NLP tasks like text processing, text mining, etc.

Kaggle’s dataset section is a cesspool.
All the data is either stolen or fake, which entirely defeats the fucking point.
Aaaaand it’s down. Guess someone at Microsoft is monitoring hackernews
Yeah, and someone is going to get a reprimand.
