It was removed on 1st of January, 2006 when new copyright legislation took place here in Finland and made it illegal to provide instructions on bypassing copy protections. Thus, the guide doesn't exist anymore.

Couldn't someone outside of finland host it? Probably a stupid question tho.

AFAIK, several torrent sites host a package that contains all of the removed guides from our site. Can't give you further instructions, but recommend you to Google it up.
