Pirate Gem, once you put your creation into .package format, it is EA Maxis'. It's as simple as that.
They could sell obj and texture files and it would be legal. Yes I do know this  I am just sayign someone needs to ASK EA, and then post it so the paysites can see ;p |

Pirate Gem I think the closest answers we are going to get are about what we have now and have gotten these past years. EA does a good job of not being too specific. However, they have mentioned that both the selling of CC is a violation of their copyright and that legally EA owns all work created that includes their "tools and materials" which to me answers that question. I don't think they are going to say anything more specific than that.
EA owns the .package, even if you put your own stuff in it. Now I am not sure they could go on and extract your mesh or texture and say they own it, but as long as it's together with their materials, and you willingly placed it there, then you have no argument.
Also, paysite know about this, I am sure the majority do, and they are not going to do a thing about it even if you plaster it all over their inboxes. They are going to look around, see other paysites, see the money coming in, and continue to do what they do until EA directly tells them to stop.

You're as cynical and skeptical as I am. Paysites are a virus that is immune to the antibody known as EA legal. They'll just keep doing what they do until they implode which I can see happening over at TSR.

It is a huge step though for S2C to allow linking to the booty. It will suck paying customers away from them. I suspect that after it all sinks in, the stupid anti-Delphy commandos will not be very popular among paysite owners. I think their self-serving little stunt was the tipping point for the people over at S2C.
Who is going to pay now?

lol. How ironic, that would mean that LyricLee has unwittingly helped the anti-paysite cause more than just about anyone.

Guess she got a revolution after all then, just not the one she wanted.

If she was smart, which we know she's not, she would quietly retire from the sims community and find somewhere else on the internets to hang out, Myspace comes to mind.

That's his opinion though, but honestly I always fail to see how in the end this matters much. We have over the years collected many similar letters. Nothing is ever done to prevent paysites or to stop us from distributing thier files. I could be mistaken, but I have very little faith anything will happen with this. So young. So cynical. |

I know, but I been in this community for so many years. Back when trading walls and floors on ts1 forums was the "thing". Back when sites were free and then first criticized for going pay.
It's great that Pes backed sharing the way he did. It's even great the FFFS is out there, it's awesome that Delphy is allowing links to PMBD, and it's nice that finally there is a large part of the community speaking out against paysites together. However, at the end of the day EA really needs to do something other than write us pretty letters.
I am hoping for TS3 they will do so, if only to end this mess that paysites, and anti-paysite people have made for them.

I remember those days too.
And I think that was half the reason for the sims2pack to work the way it does. You make a house and share it. Its a little clumsy, but it does make it obvious that sharing is the idea - not locking it behind a wall. Same with the way the whole exchange works.

http://www.thesimsresource.com/news.php?ID=2564 We are going to offer more free FA content from those who has been on TSR a long time. Those with a big file archive will offer sets on a weekly rotation rather then monthly - that is a LOT of free sets every week. We'll try this and see how it works out for everyone, so please enjoy! :lol:
