You know the funny thing...

In looking at some of the posts on here listing this reason and that reason... it's funny how you can lie to yourself, eh?  The bottom line is, the people downloading these files are stealing.  And if they're okay with that, fine.  But please, don't hide behind "Paysites are crap" and whatever other dozen excuses you can come with - you're still stealing.  If you don't agree with paysites, fine - don't subscribe to them.  That's the honest thing to do.  Anything else is just making excuses for thievery.

YOUR PROBEBLY SOME RETARD HATING HIS LIFE BECAUSE HE DONATED TO THE PAYSITES AND DIDNT RELIZE THERE WAS A SITE LIKE THIS SHUT THE FUCK UP HUN AND GO GET A LIFE, OH AND WATCH YOUR SIMS WOOHOOING CAUSE THATS THE CLOSEST YOULL GET TO A REAL FUCK ASSHOLE.  :oops: Muah**Kisses**

HotNWet. Shush. Please. That's not the way we play here. SRSLY. LURK MOAR.

Nope.  I looked at the sites that were up for grabs, but I haven't downloaded the first thing.  Of course, this is my work computer, not my home one, so you only have my word on that, but hey :-)

Henceforth you are implying by stating that because you are at work, and cannot or will not download at work, that you will not download there, but should you be at home, hey anything's fair game and you would download were you at home.

And of course by all means it is okay to waste your company's time and money on this forum debating this issue...lol.  You are in essence STEALING their money by not doing whatever it is they pay you to actually do.  Certainly you cannot tell me that they pay you to sit there and debate this issue.

So in your eyes I see that stealing in some instances is okay...

Theres confusion between legal and ethical issues here. Neither unauthorised redistribution of these files, nor selling them in the first place is illegal, but could be seen as very unethical(ofcourse thats subjective).  Anyway it seems you missed the purpose of this website, not being to share/steal content for the greater good with those who can't afford it, but simply because *Paysites Must Be Destroyed!*  

Fan art becoming business isn't illegal here but its wrong, stealing that art isn't illegal but still wrong.  So do two wrongs make a right? Depends which side you are on really.

Sure the honest thing to do would be to not download here or from the paysites if you want.  You as one that wouldn't have subscribed to the nonesense anyway wouldn't even be contributing to the destruction of paysites by downloading it here.

 You've gained something in a way that was not intended, against the owner's wishes.  How is that not stealing?  

I don't want to restate anything that's already been said about EA copyright ect.  However, CC in the sims was intended to be shared freely.  Read the EULA (non-profit), read any interviews with the games creator Will Wright and he advocates the open sharing of custom content, and then ponder the fact to why EA would go through the efforts of hosting an exchage.  Seems pretty clear to me that EA ("the owners" -- and with all the information we have from EA and EULA there is no argument in this) wants us to have these files.

As for honesty, I want some honesty from paysite owners, who are breaking the law, who are charging against the terms in the EULA, instead of the dozen of excuses they seem to have as to why they should be able to charge such prices for their content.

OMG OMG I WANNA BE SMART 2 ... OKAY HERE I GOOO UMMMMMMMMM OKAY THE REASON WHY SIMS 2 IS SO POPULAR ITS BECAUSE OF CUSTOM CONTENT SO BY ENABLING PAYSITES NOT MANY USERS WILL BE ABLE TO GET THE CUSTOM CONTENT... SOOO NOT MANY PEOPLE will be interested in the sims because not 2 many people will be able to get the custom content... buttom line is ea wants FREE content so there game could keep on selling "and if that doesnt make sense it makes sense to me, so ima keep on downloading" omg im SMART!  :lol:

Nope, I won't download from home, either.  As for stealing from my boss, I'm blessed enough that I don't have to engage in "busy work".  Once my work is done, I can goof off, but I still have to be here until 4:30.  So.
