This shouldn't be much of a surprise to anyone on this mailing list...
Just look around for software at Karamunsing.

It will be interesting if Amazon takes down Butterfly Media's products,
though.

A web search for "Butterfly Media" suggests that they've been causing
problems for a long time.

I found a thread from 2005 referring to Butterfly Media on the ScummVM
forums:

Their own site looks like a get-rich-quick scheme, not a software company.
