Vimm's Lair is still around, you just need to run a browser script that puts the download buttons back
What happened to the download buttons?
If you go to Vimm's Lair right now, you'll see, in the place of download buttons, text that says something to the effect of "This download has been removed at the request of the copyright holder"
The files are still hosted on the site, but they removed the download buttons to appease our bourgeoisie overlords. You can install a browser script that puts them back though
This is the most stupid bypass, I’m surprised this works and no one noticed. Lol
It's some real looney tunes shit, and is banking (seemingly correctly, because this has been ongoing for a few years now) on these copyright holders not understanding how the internet works
Emuparadise has been doing this for around 7 years now.
