I loved this line:

2) The creators who have been stolen can direct offenders to this site


As far as I know, Pescado hasn't made off with any creators, has he?

Omfg, we're stealing their visitors!!  But I thought they had to pay for bandwidth...  I'm so confused.

I don't think it's talking about just PSMBD, since all creations are put into folders with the creator's name (somewhere it talks about redistribution without credit), but who knows, maybe they're the misinformed ones.

I would find this more credible if their site actually WORKED.

Also, who or what is "anitkamysteria"? We seem to be very popular there.

For ease of communication all my randsom notes for safe return of the creators I have stolen will be ready-made texts in English and in French, the only two languages in the world, apparently.

I do believe the creators and supporters of that site need a different kind of help group.

Yes I loled at that. I also though it was amusing that the creators of stuff objects couldn't even make an interesting heading and yet have put the sit in frames so you have to see it all the time. If that was the best I could come up with I would leave it to people to look at the address bar, the top of the browser window, or maybe even just remember where they went for themselves.
I don't think I would trust them to do a translation for me as they don't seem to been able to get the French stuff out of the English version.
Pescado should sign up. This site doesn't agree with stealing people's content, only charging for it.

Wow, what a helpful link they have on the Links page. To a UK site about IP which isn't being updated any more and is going to close next year.

I find it funny that they even mention IP as anything created for the game is IP of EA.  What retards.

2) The creators who have been stolen can direct offenders to this site; this will prevent them from explaining again and again the same thing each time a creation is stolen. They will also find ready-made texts in English and in French to put in their e-mails, and can of course ask for our help if they need a mail translated.


And this is going to help? I think most offenders know very well what they're doing.

When you put a website you like on your links page, you are sharing one of your finds with your visitors. This is of course authorized, and even encouraged! Numerous lists and databases exist on the net. But if you put up creations for people to download from your site, that's as many visitors the creator's website will not have. Now, most creators, and especially the famous ones, have to pay for their bandwidth… In order to keep their downloads free or cheap, they need advertisers. By stealing their visitors, even though you might not realise it, you cause them to slowly lose their advertisers... and the website is forced to close down.



Are all sites charging ONLY for bandwidth? Should sites who run for profit even exist in the first place? And if not, why should we care?

Wow, that site blows. And also despite it being brand new, seems dead and pathetic.

And Anitkamysteria is a lass who occasionally posted here under the name of Anita, and got told off for overadvertising her site here, and making requests even when told not to...She has a forum in Polish..I can't read Polish.

Yes. It sure makes me laugh, anyway. I've never seen people take themselves as seriously as a large proportion of creators for this game do. They need a collective enema.

3) If you are being stolen, you can send the offender on our site in order to inform him and ask him to remove your creation from his site, and you can count on the help and support of our group in case you meet any resistance.


I do believe they are sending a strong message. They will send over little blue men with fish to beat us into their mindset that paysites are divine and right and true.


Title: "Sims creators help and defence group"
Post by: BlueSoup on 2006 December 04, 20:44:35
LOL So are they going to send Pescado to their forum and ask him to stop?  And if they should meet with resistance, then just what do they plan to do?!

I am laughing so hard right now, I want Pescado to go there just to see what will happen!  :lol:

That site is a sack of shit. I can't even get a laugh out of it because it won't load correctly in any of my browsers. Some of the links even redirect me to some bizarre French search engine.

That looks like a different site to me. A different, more pop-up laden site. Anitkamysteria is some other site, that we keep getting linked from in large quantities. Apparently, over half our external hits come from anitkamysteria.com, some kind of forum I can't read. Can anyone read it? Does anyone know what they're talking about?

We seem to be very popular amongst the non-English-speaking. Apparently they are not so shy about linking here.

Post by: jesserocket on 2006 December 04, 23:47:14
Nah, Anitka-whatever is definitely the same site, if you google it, the first result is a redirect page to AnitaSims2, then the forum is the Anitkamysteria domain...


Title: "Sims creators help and defence group"
Post by: wicked_one on 2006 December 05, 01:25:07
site -- http://www.anitathesims2.com
forum -- http://forum.anitkamysteria.com

the site used to be known as anitka mysteria...they changed it (in October i think) to the more simplistic anita sims2 but the forum still keeps the old name
as someone else pointed out, it's in polish and if there is a free online translation service for polish i'd love to see it lol
she speaks english to some extent, but apparently likes the obscurity (by making her site only being able to be read/understood by polish speakers)....its not like babelfish can translate it (not that babelfish is all that good at translating lol)
i wonder what it is theyre saying about this site over there? how mean everyone was to anita? or merely explaining that this is a good place to get pay files for free?

www.poltran.com perhaps?

no, they keep giving me the same words in different orders O.o

same for a second one.... are we SURE this is polish?

EDIT: it's czech. From her FAQ page:
Registration plus sign on
Why to sickness sign on?
Them outright want to register?
Why jsem automaticky sign off?
As forth as averts , that to my user title started within time-table now sign on?
Oblivion jsem watchword!
 Log jsem to , however sickness to sign on!
WITHIN has-been jsem to log , of course nowadays to sickness sign on?!


bad translator, but at least it's sentances. To find a czech translator, off we go!

Unfortunately I don't speak Polish.
But Europe in general has a whole different outlook on internet in general. Where mainly Americans sees it as a business venture, a way to market yourself and your company, many European countries sees it as a information central that should be free and convenient for everybody. Several European countries has therefor as an example made it cheaper to buy a computer with the goal that all their citizens will have access to Internet.
That's why a lot of Europeans don't have the same moral "stigma" when it comes to filesharing and such, also a lot of the European countries, heck maybe all of them!, doesn't have any laws that would regulate filesharing. And, heh, we don't feel the slightest bad about it :lol:

Americans like having morals for everything.  Morals are good, but only if it's the mainstream morals.  Otherwise you're just trying too hard to be badass because no one would ever disagree with what society says.  Society is never wrong.  Never.

Certain fundamental morals are needed though. It's morals that keep us from killing and raping and whatnot like there's no tomorrow.

It's Czech? My mother's neighbours are Czech...I don't think I'll ask them to translate though...they'll forcefeed me, as eastern Europeans are prone to do...Lovely people, very hospitable, but terrifying.

Post by: Ensign EO on 2006 December 05, 03:34:42
idtaminger: Certainly.  I wasn't suggesting that we go crazy, but there's always some thing that's considered taboo, for whatever reason, that doesn't really seem all that bad or harmful to others, just that's it's naughty.

My grandparents forcefeed me.  :cry:  They don't understand that I'm not a big eater, since I'm a fairly sedentary person and don't need all the calories.

I live in Europe. In my country we're allowed to download music, movies, programs, games etc/ and burn them on a CD. We can give the CD to friends/whoever. But we may NOT sell the CD. That means, no profit. Sometimes I like my country.

But in Germany, downloading movies and stuff is illegal and prohibited, I think. So not all countries in Europe are like that.
