Paysite Discussion Thread
Tenshii~Akari:
:lol: Really sounds that way, doesn't it? Especially from the way I said my piece above...

... Bottom line people are going to do what they want with zero regard for anyone other than themselves. They don't want to pay for content so by god they will find a new excuse not to and on the same token well since it's legal lets milk this cow for all it's worth.
And I couldn't agree more with that part. It's always going to be that way with anything people do.
Dr_Pixel:
Not surprisingly, Maxis/EA is saying "We don't have a problem with paysites, stop bothering us about it."
What this does is put to rest any arguments that paysites are somehow illegal.
Will it stop the pirates? Certainly not, but I must admit I find it funny to see everyone who used to treat the EULA as if it was the Holy Grail suddenly doing a complete 180...

Yes, it's interesting.

You know, I couldn't agree more with you guys. I asked a question on The Simsfilevault, why is it okay to respect the wishes of free creators and not pay creators? I had a couple of great responses, such as want to respect the free creators because maybe they will keep their content free. True enough for me, BUT, if the EULA is changing then the people there will be guilty of the same thing they accused paysites of doing, stealing. I was actually convinced because I actually read the first EULA myself so that was my proof but now that EA is saying it's okay then that gives me nor anyone else the right to fight so hard against paysites and bring the legal mumbo jumbo in the argument and then when the other side wins it's like well I won't accept my loss. I will do what I want because this is supposed to be a "friendly" community. Well, if these people thought that way then why not respect all creators? Paying for stuff isn't undermining fun in the sims community. If you want to pay then pay, if not you should obtain your cc legally since that was the whole argument anyway right?
Dr_Pixel:
Judging from the responses I have seen on the threads on S2C, for many anti-paysite people it was obviously not really the argument, nor anything they really cared about anyway. It was just a convienient way to make themselves look legitimate, as if they were upholding the law, and protecting the "community". The truth is coming out now.
