It's still possible and last time I used it, it was about as easy as can be.
When I last did it, you just downloaded the regular program, installed it, then you ran a patcher and that was it. This was a couple years ago now, but Adobe already had their current business model.
Yup. The only real difference is the pricing model, the program is pretty much the same.
I rememeber they tried offering online libraries of stuff for download to justify the subscription for some products.
Last time SWIM used a patcher, it came with a malware dropper. Is that still how this "free" works?
