EA can't (or shouldn't) really come out against file sharing, since the Exchange does much of what PMBD does, just in a more craptacular and less organized way.
Isn't this the answer to this whole debate? The new EULA changes nothing in practice even if it does apply to all the CC tools and despite the varied legal readings. The main game site is still a file-sharing site - THE main file-sharing site I should think (despite PMBD's best efforts) - whether the files are pay or not.
Those of us who have 'legitimately' bought pay stuff (because that's how it's done here, isn't it?) can build some lots/sims and upload them to the Exchange.
If TSR and others have a problem with that, they could go and ask EA/Maxis to remove their pay content - or give them their money back - or is it the other way round? Whatever.
Or am I missing something?
