  • This: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect

    It’s where someone tries to take down one (or more) file(s), and news of that goes public, resulting in more attention to the file(s) in question. As such, we need to redistribute the script, just like what happened with the AACS key (09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0), which can now be found on thousands of webpages. If enough people see something of this sort, they might redistribute it faster than the copyright owners can take it down. That’s how warez (and digital piracy in general) has survived to this day. It’s basically like the story of the Hydra: Cut one head off (take a site down), and multiple heads (mirrors) emerge from the body.

    EDIT: Also, how do I copy the text from the archived page, so I can paste it into a txt and redistribute? I tried Ctrl+C, but I get an error saying (in Portugese) something about an incompatible browser, which doesn’t make sense when I’m doing it in the newest version of Chrome. I tried other browsers, but got the same error.
