Add to my list a large number of prayers to Nemesis, because if anyone needed to be visited by her, its TSR [ Because the last few days has just made me reconsider this whole 'hate' thing, or at least an active dislike.

1. Never paid for any kind of content
2. Donated to the sites I wanted to that did not give me anything for the donation
3. put link to this forum in my siggy for a couple of forums I frequent
4. Get pointed at and laughed at by the rest of the pirates because I didn't read the list before posting a site that's already been posted.
5. Signed Nouk's petition and wrote a letter to Maxis.
6. Encouraged uploading of pay meshes to the exchange!

Me? Not too terribly much, I suppose.

I went with Bluesoup from filesharing home to filesharing home, trying to find bigger and better things, and I've shared content when I can afford to buy it. I hosted an early filesharing forum Blue created, then later discarded when we discovered SFV was bigger and cooler and much more organized. I hung out in IRC and threw in my two cents every now and then when Pes and Blue were kicking around the idea for this place, though admittedly my two cents didn't add up to much...

I posted links to SFV on my site before PMBD existed, and before it was acceptable to talk about filesharing in any way on a 'respectable' forum. Not too many people saw it, but it was out there, and it led a few more people to greener pastures. Now I have links to here as well, and host a fileshare friendly forum that openly refers people to the booty as well.

I try to add my voice whenever I can (and when it's appropriate) to telling everyone about how much I dislike paysites and where to get the booty. It's not a huge impact, but every person who learns that there is an alternative to paying for content is for the better.

When I get around to getting my sims2 site up, the houses I make'll go there. Too much hassle to post it at mst2 (having been rejected once for not having plantlife in the yard..wtf. And having grids..even tho others have done the same..and been accepted. )

Aside from downloading a shitload of booty and dumping them after I found out how it looked ingame? Not much, although I signed Nouk's petition and tried to convince TSR artists to get their own site. I don't care if they start a paysite or not, as long as they're out of that hellhole.

Ok, I can't ignore this thread any longer. Mostly because it will seem odd and people will question my motives. That's right. You're ALL out to get me!!!

Uh... Sorry. Lack of sleep.

I have donated to the booty a few times and I have answered requests on SFV even fewer times.

I have pointed one or two lambs this way.

I signed that petition Nouk put up, although I'm not sure if that did anything.

I took a vow never to donate again unless it was for the booty and I stopped even looking at paysites altogether. I know now where to get better stuff.

All in all, I didn't really do squat. I'm not the most active person on this planet.  :oops:

Just posted a rant in my blog on my Sim Page at the official site. Considering that I have a fair bit of readership of my stories and am always getting questions about where I got my droves of custom content, it felt like a good thing to do. I linked to Nouk's site for the official response copies, but titled the post "Paysites Must Be Destroyed (yup, I said it!)"

Frankly, not much. I signed the petition, asked other people to sign it as well and put the link to it in my blog, linked PMBD in my site next to the paysites, so people can see the shinny pics and download the contect from the booty. I talk about PMBD to other simmers whenever I have the opportunity. Didn't send the letter yet, but I'm gonna this week. Post office is so far from my home that's not even funny.
Now I'm thinking about uploading sims all made with paid stuff to the Exchange, because that's what paysites hate the most. :twisted:

Well, reading through that post I recognized that all did about just the same things. What about spreading that stuff via torrents and emule and so likes?
I know I found once the whole Harry Potter Set including Lyrics taken away stuff on torrent. Or make an advertising Myspace profile linking to that site?
