For your information, I am not, nor have I ever been any kind of a creator, nor have I EVER shared a TSR file with this site. So while I agree with this sites position, I am not a pirate, by the legal definition. But once you find out who I am, and I have NO doubt that you will do whatever it takes to find my identity on your site, I know you will ban me and brand me as an illegal file sharer. You WILL lie about me, of this I am utterly convinced, you've done it to other innocent people whom you merely SUSPECT of file sharing.
Here at least we can OPENLY and HONESTLY discuss and debate issues within the Sims community. You cannot say the same about TSR. One small step beyond your party line and BOOM, you bring out that magic "delete" button, and you somehow think that makes the issue vanish. You stomp all over anyone who opposes you and think you have the right to behave that way.
TSR is nothing more than a dictatorship run by idiots who bully anyone who gets in their way. That is the TSR that I object to. I don't see you, at any time in the future changing your tactics. Neither do I ever see honesty and respect being a part of your business plan.
What you should maybe give some thought to, is actually knowing what Thomas and Atwa are doing. Is does appear that what they tell you is not what they are really doing. If you did know, you would not continually have to come here, and waste your time trying to defend their actions. Instead you could better spend your time educating your fellow employees on business ethics, the proper kind of business ethic, not the perverted kind that exists on TSR.
You DO NOT ever have the right to release anyone's personal information, for any reason. You cannot ever justify that practice.

^ I love you...like seriously, and I 100% agree.
I have been quietly lurking in the shadows watching this whole situation transpire. I have read all these pages and pages of back-and-forth and while some of it confused me, I think I get the general gist of what's happening. I see a lot of people considering going to the authorities about this. My question is (if you feel like sharing) What are you planning to say? I ask this because when paysite owners threaten legal action against sites like PMBD, the lawsuits never seem to go anywhere. (Not saying the two are in any way related, just wondering if the authorities will care) Seeing as this isn't really an EA issue, I don't really see them stepping in and saying anything further. And TSR has stated that they didn't do it, (
) so what will you all (those who are named on the list) do, if anything?
