My reasoning is being against the paysite model is different that being against the site themselves.
Fair enough. However that makes no sense. If you follow a model then you become that model. You either are or you aren't, it's that simple. If you upload to a paysite then you are showing that you support the idea of paysites. The medium is the message.
However it seems some people use the paysite excuse to direct attacks towards people and sites, as if someone work automatic became "bad" the moment its because pay content or someone work automatic becomes "good" the moment it became free.
We're not in the business of pointing out the flaws of creators on free sites. That in itself does imply that we think they are all good.
I know TSR is a acceptable target for two reasons, the first one is all the stuff they been pulling off all these years and the second is because they are still around after all these years and are still notable, unlike older sites that either died out or are a shadow of their former self (8th Deadly Sims, WDS, SimFreaks).
TSR is an acceptable target because they are a paysite. End of story. Everything else is extra.
I dont like TSR not because just because its a paysite but because all the crap they been pulling all these years but at least I am not going to given then a excuse of calling us "extremists" that are interested on the destruction of sites.
We are against paysites as an idea, a model and an actuality.
Look IF she was a featured artist and pulled everything from MTS then I would understand part of the rage but she is not, she is a Selected Artist and marked everything free to download ... other people also do that and there is nothing wrong, its still free and if it makes you feel better its content when downloaded do not really generate TSR revenue, only costs.
There is no rage here. Simply disappointment that a former free site supporter has now become a paysite supporter.
