You should download whatever you can. I want you to make your own collection. The more people who have ROM collections, the harder it will be for corporations to get rid of ROMs.
But you have to accept that Vimm wants to abide by the law, and that means honoring DMCA takedown requests. Vimm is not going to restore the removed content, which means that you have to look elsewhere for it. If you want to be sure that the ROMs you download from other sites are identical to known good dumps from physical copies, then you can use No-Intro and Redump and match the checksums just like Vimm does.

Im beginning to HATE this community for being not cooperative and only coming here to keep telling us to look elsewhere. Im beginning to think some people like yourself here are only around to tell people here to stop downloading from Vimm as some kind of anti-piracy? Whoever you are, Im not listening to you and Im taking everything I can that is still here before its gone and lost forever. It will be your fault because you didn't help preserve what was lost here, stupid uncooperative fool!
