Vercel strikes again. I don’t think I’ve seen a product or service orientated at devs take such a rapid 180 over the last few months.
Yeah how dare they take down a site that offers illegal services
TIL am a criminal for working around restrictions of paywalled content using some browser addons.
The frontier of enforcement on this issue evolves over time but I highly doubt some prosecutor is going to charge you personally with a DMCA violation. But a service that lets others do that could be a target.
You're getting something for free that you're supposed to pay for, there's a term for that...
