On a general basis: So what if some BBS moderator made a statement endorsing paysites. There’s nothing new in that. EA has always supported paysites, and always will. Besides, the ‘Paysites are illegal because of the EULA’-argument has always been dubious. I've never bought it. I mean, can anyone tell me how the EULA will stand up in any court against national legislation about copyright and intellectual property?
Yes? No? Well, my bet is that national legislation would overrule the EULA completely. Which means that creators – pay and free – may well be able to claim ownership and rights over their creations.

My biggest complaint about many of the paysites that bitch and moan about "the pirates stealing my creations", if you examine their content, that Prada bag, those Gucci or Louis Vuitton re-colors, those meshes of Pottery Barn and Ikea (only the Maxis stuff pack items are officially endorsed) furniture and that photo skinned sim of some famous actor or actress, etc, etc, etc, how much of a fee did they pay the holders of those copyrights? And, better yet, did they remember to claim their income on their taxes?? It's very much a case of pot-kettle to me.
