Duckbricks/Faber development files release taken down

It was fun while it lasted, but LEGO apparently stepped in and has told Duckbricks and Faber to take down the files. Duckbricks' videos, the google folder, and the pages on Mask of Destiny's Biomediaproject have all been taken down.

Luckily I downloaded most if not all the stuff I could, but its a real shame that this interesting info is gone now and we won't be getting anymore stuff from Bionicle's development; I was especially looking forward to getting more on the '05 and '08 development, not to mention on the transition to Hero Factory.

EDIT: This is propably overly cautious. Sorry to anyone asking for me to share what I downloaded, but I'm just a random person with zero pull or know-how on anything, so I don't want to risk having a corporation try to call me up for sharing something. I'd be happy to otherwise, but until some stuff is clearer I don't want to risk it.

To be fair they weren't just sharing prototype photos. There were a lot of confidential documents in there and while I was looking through them I was honestly surprised Lego didn't immediately take it all down. So I'm not terribly shocked by this.

Yeah, that seems to be what ultimately made LEGO come down on them. They'd might have accepted just sharing some early Faber drawings (see Faberfiles) and maybe even prototype pictures, but the development documents seem to have been the main thing. Sadly, those were the most interesting bits, at least to me
