We'll probably get the beta modules downloads back online soon, which add 
a few more experimental modules and modules that use features not yet 
available in the released versions of Sword.  However, if you're asking 
for locked modules, it is unlikely that you will find anything of interest 
in the beta modules.

What locked modules? I don't see any locked modules. (Seriously, nothing 
is available that you can't already get. There are no hidden downloads. 
Please don't try to find them. (Really... this is not a hint to finding 
something hidden. I just get annoyed at having to go through an clean up 
after the module download scripts create empty ZIPs because people think 
they're being clever and have found something we've tried to hide. There's 
nothing there folks.))

Or: Why were you asking for modules you thought were a violation of 
copyright law?
