IDSA Requests VIC 20 Cartridge Roms Takedown

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the obsolescence-is-no-excuse dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The VIC20 cartridge dump archive has been taken down by FUNET following a request by the IDSA (Interactive Digital Software Association). More info from comp.sys.cbm." Of course, VIC 20 users are now going to have to buy their cartridges in stores, and by "stores", I mean garage sales, flea markets, and swap meets.

    Things like that happened all over the place, but generally the cases were settled by lawyers. This page explains the alternatives to VIC 20 cartridge searches and shows legal ways of preventing such events from happening in the future.

    But that was before DMCA, though.
