Then that is it,  it was that online petition because that is the only thing it could have been in my instance.  Coconut did verify that it was mine, but I already knew it was.

I'm extremely pissed they had the gall to post this list but I've read enough BS over the years about their antics to see this is par for the course, now it's just hit very close to home.  Right or wrong I just signed a petition, never shared files nor posted anti-TSR sentiments.  

Congrats TSR, you just made an anonymous lurker into a vocal enemy,  keep up the good work.  I'll be keeping an eye on this thread for advice on how to handle this. 

Thank you Coconut for your help.  I am sorry to all whose names were leaked.

I was curious and just checked TSR,  the email I have registered there is an old one I haven't used in almost 2 years, the one on the list is my current one.

I'm on their list, full name and email.  I occassionally browse Sim sites, have downloaded one or two things on PMBD a long time ago .  

I have no idea why I am on this list or how I got there,  I don't post at TSR(or download for that matter, I do have taste), I do not post on the BBS, I don't post anywhere. I am really stumped how I acquired the honor of being called a Pirate.  

I guess TSR has pushed another Sim player into this war,  I was just a lurker not actively supporting any side, though privately always supported the pirates.

Note:  I did sign an online petition to not buy Sims 3 because of EA's dealings with paysites that did include my email and name, could they have obtained this information from there?  This is the only thing I can think of that I have done.
