    There’s lots of content sitting just below the surface on github. Any time you make a PR on a repo, even if it gets closed or “deleted” by the repo owner, the actual link to the file itself stays there forever if you save it. Github’s own dmca repo even has warez links on it, sitting there for years.

        Usually entire repos are disabled in that case. I’ve never tried to access hidden content on a DMCA-removed repo, but I assume it would not work.
