Indeed, as I've said, once someone goes and santizes it and can tell me
with 99.99% confidence that all the illegal wares have been removed, I
will be more than happy to rehost it again.
IMHO - a good thing to do is to replace the illegal wares with demo
versions where available, and url's pointing to where to buy the legal
copies from.
I can't unfortunately provide a file listing as rm -rf newtonmad did its
job pretty well. :) Even so, you just can't tell what's a demo and what's
a full version just by file names. You can only assume, which will get
you (or rather me) in trouble.
