I think H&M and their big logo bearing advertisement pack is more responsible for this than anything we have done.

EA can't allow a registered trademark like "H&M" to be resold by a third party.   H&M could either sue EA for infringement (not adequately protecting their trademark) or demand a cut of what the third party paysites made off their logos.

EA has to take some kind of stand at least 30 days before the H&M pack ships to cover their backsides.

I am sure H&M has some sort of KA-CHING deal right there. EA ain't stupid.

I'm just saying that no company is going to allow their logo to be sold by a third party.  It's one of the first clauses in the type of contract that grants the use of a trademark to another company (like EA).

I noticed that EA has taken an interesting stance on one of their other games. command and conquer tiberium wars. they have custom content in the form of maps and they have only just released a programme to make the maps with. last night while looking for some maps, my husband noticed a few paysites have already set up shop selling these maps  :evil:
however we were able to get some free maps off a website.

HERES THE CRACKER!!>>> I installed one of these maps and played online with my husband (who hadn't installed it) the game automatically detected he didnt have it, and then it auto file shared it!

hahaha the game is designed to auto transfer any custom content between players, this is going to be a hard knock for the wanna be paysites in that community, EA seem to be taking a stance of stopping the paysite problem before it starts, now all they need to do is stand by their guns and sort out this community.

ETA: at least we will never see thetiberiumwarsresource.com   Tongue

:lol: YES! Now I don't need to feel guilty about downloading stuff from this site because it's pay content. I only need to feel guilty as always because my parents don't want me to download anything from the internet! YES! :lol:

I Really can't believe this. LOL

I can't help but imagine Thomas, Heather and the prick from pandora (can't remember his name), getting their asses sued off. OH YES YES YESS :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

BTW could someone tell me why the I can't see the code when I try to register at SFV? I get a red x, and nothing helps. I emailed the board admin but haven't got a response yet.

I think we're all waiting with baited breath for EA to let us know what, if any, action they will be taking. They have a lot of sites and information to figure out, so I think it's going to take a bit of time.

I don't think SIH was online just now. I'm sure it will be straightened out quickly.

I signed up just so I could be a pirate.  I always show up at the LAST minute.   I hope this doesn't mean we can't be pirates anymore.  :cry:

On the upside, I hope Thomas gets a chunk chewed out of his big floppy man-ass.  Cool
