The Pirate Ship / ARR! / Re: TSR: In Ur Accounts, Deletin Ur Stuffs!

Seriously people, I knew the petition was going to be hacked the minute it was online. I have nothing against BlueSoup, I don't know her, but she came with this idea at a time when everyone was still talking about Thomass hacking into MTS2 and deleting BB stuff, and when people were massively complaining about the info-sharing at TSR. That list was made to be signed by a lot of people, most of them known to be members of a community that doesn't agree with TSR activities. Did you really think that TSR would let the occasion pass? Of course not!
No matter how TSR got the file (EA, hacking into Bluesoup's page etc....), the result is the same: it's illegal. First of all, TSR did announce that the list it's not "coming from them" (not that I believe that, but well) That doesn't overule the possibility that someone gave it to them (EA, or a hacker, or a person who had access to the list content) .
Let's assume it was EA who leaked it (how convenient!). It is still illegal because TSR is not officially part of the company. It's only a fan site. EA cannot share the info with them. Period. (Quick question here: are we really sure that BlueSoup sent the list to EA?)
Now, if it wasn't EA, then the list was given freely by BlueSoup or taken from her site by hacking. The result is the same: TSR got it (that's illegal) and shared it (that's also illegal).
At this point, only Coconut and BlueSoup can prove that TSR is guilty. It's obvious that Coconut cannot post the full list in her blog without violating the law, but if there is a trial, Coconut will be free to give any information she has to prove that she's telling the truth. Not to mention that there will be investigations to find the source of the leak. And if we add the whole Buggybooz hacking (it was proved by MTS that it was Thomas, right?) and the FA info-sharing precedents (Sasilia/Birgit if I recall), TSR will loose its credibility in front of a judge.
Now, if Atwa is the hacker... It's public knowledge that she has a close relationship to Thomas (we all remember that picture, of those two hugging, right? Not to mention all the emails where she talked about their "relationship") They used to work together to track pirates. So if she was the hacker, it's only natural to conclude that she hacked the petition with only one purpose: share it with Thomas.
As they say, every roads lead to Rome. Or here, TSR. So, I really doubt that there will be any legal action against Coconut, if she says the truth. Unless you're a genious hacker, you will always leave traces on the internet. Nothing can be totally erased. Not only will TSR loose the case, but they will open a door for all the members who are on that list to sue them back. Major money loss. Too risky.

If you scroll down the page, you'll see that the person who posted Secret #20 is now accusing us of being greedy. From all the people I have asked to tell me what they think of PMBD, and to tell me honestly, and not just what I wanted to hear, their opinions were always negative. Well, you know what they say. Everybody lies. Edited because I obviously can't spell.

So it's a business decision, not a creative decision. Yep. Just like when some company decided to create a one-shot issue about Stephenie Meyer's life.(you know, the writer of Twatlight) How she grew up, how she met her husband... I thought it was a joke. But it wasn't. The few panels I saw on the internet were terrifying. $3.99 of pure ugliness.

@aeris: love the icon by the way, batman's my favorite comic. i'm a total scarecrow fangirl though. Thanks. I'm a sucker for shirtless Bat. In the batcave, in the shower, in the JLA locker room...Um... Where was I again? Oh, I remember now. I came to post this: I don't know what's bothering me the most. The name,the thong, or the anorexic skintone?

Disney's version completely misses the point, and further convinces little girls that they are princesses and that a man will ultimately make them happy, which is total bullshit. Exactly. I find this stupidly annoying. And that's why I love comics. Ok, it's drawn by men so women usually have big boobs and some of them look like they're fighting crime in their underwear. But at least, they are badass and they don't wait for a man to do their job. Austere: Yeah, Disney's bought Marvel. Don't know why, but when I read that I immediately pictured Wolverine with a pink tutu. Scary. But hey, as long as they stay away from DC comics and Batsy, I'm ok.

The Sims Resource has invested heavily in TSR Workshop [...] We would encourage you to donate to the project, not just as a way of saying "thanks" for the work done to date, but to help us to continue to invest in the future, for Expansion Pack compatibility and better feature enhancements too. What kind of investment is that? Oh, and I'm sure the community will be thrilled to see that the same people who hacked, lied and stole on a daily basis are making more money to continue. Thomass can shove this EULA up his ass. I'm sure it's wide enough.

I meant the 10-years-later ending scene with Will, Elisabeth, and their son. I never expected Will to actually die, but I think he would be better off dead for real, instead of becoming the next Davy Jones. Anyway, the two of them won't be in the 4th movie, so the story will obviously start with Jack searching for the fountain.
And yeah, rumor has it that Zac Efron already signed a $10 million deal. This is going to suck big time.

Wait, is that a Baby!Batman Beyond I see there? Fucking hell thats awesome Yeah, that's Terry, who's now Bruce&Selina's son. Told ya it was great! About PotC: The end of the 3rd movie was weird and didn't make any sense. There will be no Will/Elizabeth in the 4th one, (not that I care a lot, I only liked Sparrow anyway) and Zac Efron is joining the cast... That does not sound good.
