Answer this question. Paysites tell us everywhere that they own the copyright. When I go to the site though they tell me this

This site is not endorsed by or affiliated with Electronic Arts, or its licensors. Trademarks are the property of their respective owners. Game content and materials copyright Electronic Arts Inc. and its licensors. All Rights Reserved

They know I paid them money for access to  GAME CONTENT. and they also tell me that on their site (meaning their specific files) Game content and materials copyright Electronic Arts Inc So tell me where exactly am I going against a copyright and STEALING anything. I did pay for the access(I am not sharing the access) and EA has made it plan and clear that we can share GAME CONTENT. They actually have set up the EXCHANGE so people can share GAME CONTENT, so you really need to come up with a better argument. Hey, I have an idea, why dont you people use your secret forum to come up with a better argument instead of sharing personal info because quite frankly a lot of people have come to our side because of that sharing of personal information. I think even EA may step in and make their point a little clearer now that there is a danger aspect from going to a paysite.

Can you tell your friends to hold off posting for 24 hours. My doctor put me on restrictions. I can only read so much jibberish a day and you have just maxed me out. Not to mention I cant get my crack refilled until Tuesday.  "No pun intended"

Someone with myspace needs to give her a link to the EA post. I would ove to read her rant on that.

I think we should go deflower his forum. Seems a little boring over there anyways.

HUH? Could you repeat that please. Sorry but I was smoking crack with my Mom the day they taught jibberish in school. The class on translating stupidity I missed because Mom had a toothache and I had to give the blowjob.

One could argue these points but, this is in repsonse to someone complaining about their meshes being uploaded to the exchange, not the fact they uploaded it themselves and then wanted it off. Combine this plain English post and combine it with what is required to be on any site


I mean they are selling/giving away game content. You download game content from a site that has that posted(which is all of them) it is being done with the knowledge that the copyright belongs to EA. The site states it right there. By the way this one I got at Simsvault. I seriously dont understnad why the have been arguing at all.



The Trademark, Name of the site and any logos are theirs, the game content is EA's



They have nothing! THey just need to give it up because EA is not going to turn the rights of their game over to creators. They will shut creators down first. I mean look at the meshes they  have for future stuff packs

There TOS states the same thing. Now it is just plain English without all the lawyer talk.

Do you think for one minute if this was not true that EA would let Pescado keep going. They have been telling people for forever this. They privately tell those putting up pay meshes that it is ok just dont advertise it. Now, they have just put it in plain English that even a china woman can understand. Nothing against china people mind you

I agree

Actually, they dont think they are right either. If they thought for a moment they had a legal right to sell the content the words donation and bandwidth would never even be mentioned. They would all be replaced with the word purchase and business. It would be retailer and customer. There is one site owner that if you say, "I want to buy this set from you" he will respond that he has no sims files for sale and that they are only gifts you receive for donating. There are no purchase buttons out there. They are donator buttons.

Well, that is going to depend on paypal. If they shut down Rose's account and they should, yes it will stop because the rest will fear losing their accounts. If EA steps in with all the current mess, then that will indeed shut one of us down. If EA would just come and say it like it is than one of us would stop. If EA states the meshes are theirs then we stop. (Well, I would but JM probably would not) If EA states they cant stop us from sharing, then they will stop. Seems quite a simple solution to me. Just need EA to get off the fence and stop playing both sides.

Can you be more specific? Sharing files is one thing, sharing personal information is quite another. Do I think it is out of hand? Yes, I do. Do I think they are going way overboard by putting more value in money than safety? You bet I do. Did it make want to slink away into the night? Hell no, Actually it made me more determined that paysites need to be taken out. I think EA needs to stand up to the plate and do something. They have clearly sat idle for to long. They have allowed this to escalate to a cesspool of paysites and thus the sharing of their content.

I know alot of people are concerned with him running a site geared towards children. That is why I said you may copy and paste sections and agree to share the actual link in pm's. I just dont want them pointing the finger at us because we have his real name and where he lives posted on a public forum. You cold make a post that just simply states if someone wants to know more to pm you.

Thanks so much. Scurvy would you please edit yours as well. I dont mind if you highlight sections of it and I dont mind if you share it in pm's. I just dont want them coming back and saying we are posting his name on a public forum.

I am gonna ask you to edit your post and remove the link and his personal name from here. We do not want to sink to their level as providing personal info about other people. Please remove it.
