Whoever it is looks like he needs a good headlice shampoo.  That's what my kids' hair used to look like after they'd been scratching their heads.

Well, except for that completely twatty last post from Delphy. Not 'I believe it's morally and ethically wrong', but 'that is morally and ethically wrong'. As though there's absolutely no room for debate and differing opinions. Fucktard. Seriously, it's Sims 2 CC being discussed, not the raping of children.

Hehehe. Somewhere in the midst of that conversation, Pescado got demoted to a Test Subject.

Delphy, are you looking forward to Prom??

LOL.

What was he before?

[Surelyfunke]

He had some custom title. Like a Grumpy old coot or something.

Wow and he didn't even have to "donate" to get a custom title. so not fair!!!  :lol:

"We might see some of those people - and some of those sites - closing down, and while others might come and take thier [sic] place, any such loss of talented artists, programmers and designers would be a loss for all concered [sic]."

OK Delphy (I know you or one of your minions is here), this is total bullshit. It would NOT be a loss for all concerned. Paysites closing are a gain to the community. Shut them all down, they are all crap. I use some of their stuff in my game, but if they went away, I would be happy, because there would no longer be this nauseating idea in this community that it's OK to charge for game mods. Idiots who put all their time and energy into making crap would be replaced by hobbyists who put their spare time and energy into making crap. Just like for EVERY OTHER GAMING COMMUNITY.

A very large stick would be removed from the community's ass. Nothing but good would come from it.

[Surelyfunke]

It's an incredibly condescending attitude, as well, to assume that without pay content, there would be no talent left in the community, as if to say that the best creators are the ones who are good enough to charge for their content, or by virtue of charging for content, are worth more than those who do not. Not to mention completely baseless and false, when we think about what Quaxi, Numenor and countless others have achieved.

Wow how fucking immature can you get? Christ.

All right, who is up for posting a thread over there on paysites must be destroyed around 8-9pm est tonight?!

[Pariland]

Wow.  Delphy and his cheerleading minion are just that stupid.

So let me see if I understand correctly...

EA Games, who holds the copyrights/patents to all things Sims (to the point where people can't copyright images they take ingame), does not in fact own custom content because creators altered it (not made it completely unique).  And because Delphy and his team of not-lawyers who like to think they are said so.  Anyone who disagrees is just not cool or intelligent.  The end!

However,

CC creators own the packages they make off of EA's patent (and coding, and meshes, and in some cases, textures) because they added a mesh (in many cases, just an alteration of a Maxis mesh - ignore the bullshit part about how a mesh comprises most of a package file, not the actual code itself).

Who can be the first to tell me what's wrong with this picture?  The bigger the words, the better.

As a side note, it is utterly ridiculous to compare a txt or obj file format to a package file format.  Those other two contain one's true personal work result in the end - completely stand alone.  The package files still contain mostly Maxis code, and not the stand alone work of a mesh or bmp file.

[neriana]

Well, ethics can be applied to pretty much anything, though certainly this is a far less weighty matter than... pretty much anything else. That doesn't mean that ethical rules don't apply. And Delphy's stance is ethically, as well as logically, bullshit.

<devil's advocate>
I disagree with Delphy's and others similar points of view, but I have to admit that a such debate on s2c being allowed and closed, yes, but not deleted in the end, is good.

I can't believe Delphy said: 'that is morally and ethically wrong'

Who the hell promoted him to being our collective conscience?

He's the last person to be dictating what's morally right or wrong...

I agree 100 %. he apparently thinks kiddie porn is ethically right so what does that say about his morals??!!
