heh interesting, I though you where Pescados First Mate, he must be taking alot of the credit.

I've not been here long and im disgusted, I blame EA for being too lazy to get their overpaid lawyers to crank out Legal Mumbo Jumbo letters to these people for the good of the community.

Yeah Im going to have to put BlueSoup under the Robin Hood Catagory, shes the hero of the people aside from Pescado.

Pirates are always getting drunk and having sex in addition to re-claiming booty, so it seems all normal here.  As for me, i dont drink and still end up in weird or crazy situations as those that do drink, so no stories from me heh.

paysite supporters are just as bad as paysite owners, simply because they support illegal activity.  Would you fund drug dealers?

I dont know how there is even needs to be discussions about this, its illegal plain and simple. These paysite owners can very much indeed be sued or even sent to jail if EA ever enforced its own policy.

I think people should email Gamespot, IGN, Gamespy and other gaming websites, if this got brought into the limeline (especially since these gaming websites do have lines into companies like EA) It would get the exposure it should have.

Being that my girlfriend works for a law firm i can tell you all of this is illegal, everytime anyone uses Sims software they agree all CC becomes the intellectual property of EA Games and cannot be sold in anyway. This also makes it horribly funny they call us "thieves" and "pirates" when they are the ones violating copyright laws.

The only difference is people selling stuff for those games get shut down hard by the gaming companies when they are discovered. Hell, on a monthly basis WoW bans hundreds of users and removes millions of gold from the game when anyone gets in the mind to pull crap like this.  As with Oblivion, the community doesnt tolorate the selling of mods outside of official channels, which is why with all that stuff one has to look for it, with the sims it seems these criminals operate openly.

I just cant stop laughing at how straight faced they are, calling us Resistance people criminals, meanwhile they use pathetic excuses to cover their violations of the EA End User Agreement. It says pretty plainly EA owns their mods, not them.

I see, non gamers are getting duped. If this crap ever happened in the mainstream gaming community there'd be rioting, Bethesda started charging for "Official" mods and that nearly produced a riot.  

I really hope sims fans start smartening up and rise up against this, I guess im a 100% Pirate because I wholly support this site and all efforts to bring down paysites. Its just a shame EA is too lazy to act like a real game company and shut these fools down for the good of their customers.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, im new to the sims mod scene, but this is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen.  How do these people get away with selling mods? I've never seen in any other game people getting away with blatant violations of the user agreement.

More over i find it laughable they take the "morally" outraged person attitude. and have the audacity to call people thieves. EA Games should be dismatling their whole pathetic union, not allowing it to grow.  How did it get to be this way? Again I say, this is the only game I've ever seen where the company allows people to ignore their EULA. These idiots deserve every download people make from the booty.
