Yup! I found it on SFV: that's great!  Cheesy

The thread is here: http://www.simsfilevault.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2745

If someone don't want to register at SFV just to have a look, I hope it wouldn't hurt if I quote here the two complete answers from EA:

Hello xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,

Thank you for contacting Electronic Arts.

To answer your question: Yes, running a paysite featuring content for the Sims 2 is considered to be a violation of both the Electronic Arts Terms of Service and copyright law. This includes both content that is sold directly and content that is offered as part of a subscription service. Additionally, the intent behind providing these tools to the Sims 2 community was to promote the sharing of content, not commercial activity. If you know of a site that is offering Sims 2 content as a pay-service, we would ask that you please let us know so that we can take the appropriate steps to address the situation.

If you have any further questions, please let us know.

Take care,

EA Rep Fenris
Player Relations
Electronic Arts

Hello again xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,

I can certainly understand your frustration over this issue, as it probably is not always clear whether EA is interested in pursuing these sorts of cases. However, I can assure you that, legally, Electronic Arts owns the rights to all material created from our engine, and that the sharing of said material for free on community sites is completely legal, even if it is material that some players are attempting to sell. If you would like to submit a list of these pay sites, I will be more than happy to pass it on to the EA Legal team to review.

Take care,

EA Rep Fenris

Please please please let EA do something about paysites.  If they do, I won't even complain anymore about their craptastic H&M stuff pack.

I wish I could cut out the ending of Michael Jacksons's 'Thriller' and post it here. So appropriate!

Stay tuned.
