It really is alive and kicking, and now there's a smarter way to find things compared to the integrated file search (which can lead to fake content, viruses or... worse).

There are some forums (yes, old-school web forums) with neatly organized content. You just copy-paste the e2dk link into the client, and voilà.

Some forums are even publicly accessible, so it's clear that nobody is seriously persecuting people for piracy in Italy.
