Title: People leeching free content for pay

Another reason why paysites must be destroyed. People take free content and sell it as their own. If EA didn't allow paysites then there would be more compensation for the talented free artists.


A person on InSIMenator tried to sell the object for free. You can see more info here:

That guy wins the ass-of-the-year award.

Aaand, the site seems to be gone, now.

I missed it before the site was deleted.  Does anyone know how much he was trying to sell the InSIMenator for?

They're saying he was trying to sell it for $2.00. What an asshat!

As if everyone didn't already know who really made the Insim possible.

This would be awful if it wasn't so funny, but frankly, anyone who actually paid for that deserved to be scammed. :P

Not that I know of, I was a little too pissed at the time. The little fucker had a youtube video up showing it being used.

Didnt this happen before with the Insimenator? Some guy offering it for download for a fee? Honestly the nerve of some people   :evil:  

I completely agree with your point SlayerAngel: another reason to destroy paysites, they nick free stuff

:evil: this is what happens when stupid EA doesn't take a stand on pay sites and for us (meaning sheep) as a community for allowing them.  If there weren't any paysites then there would be no "market".  This just royally stinks!

Well, if anyone's interested in giving him a piece of their mind, here (http://youtube.com/watch?v=XgRKOOc1Whk) is the YouTube video he uploaded in an attempt to sell it.

Aww man what a JERK! Poor Kathy and Eric! Eric makes it so brilliant, and makes it just so worth it; it's disgusting that someone would take it and pretend it was their own!
I HAVE to watch that YT vid when I get home...

It's nothing great. The video quality isn't the best, and you can audibly hear him clicking on the InSimenator during the whole thing.

Denimjo (and RL), you're right. Plus it kept freezing, and nothing actually happened. Watched about 5 seconds of it before getting bored!


Title: Charmed Sims
Post by: PsychoSimGirl on 2007 March 25, 16:34:18
Speaking of Stealing can anyone tell me where I've seen the four bottom outfits here before?

http://www.charmedsims.org/teenfashion_casual.html

I think they might be SimChic but I don't know all I know is I have these outfits for adults and they are exactly the same. This site's stuff isn't even that good all I found that was cool were like 2 undies and 3 swimsuits. Anything that looks like it even has texture looks like it came straight from SimChic.

CharmedSims & SimChic are twinned sites; they share a lot of their content and textures and meshes, and SC shares its profits w/ CS, I believe.

From the comments left on that YouTube video there's obviously a ton of people who don't know where you get the lovely InSIM. Here's hoping they didn't actually -pay- that asshat for other people's hard work!  :evil:
