This is fantastic! Thank you for sharing with us

Very cute thank you for sharing with us

We'll just have to agree to disagree on this one, I personally don't have a vendetta against anyone. I do have a vendetta as to what is being done on several of these paysites. I do not believe EA ever intended for anyone to make a profit off their content or they would have charged licensing agreements from the get go and only allowed certain people access to the tools. I have never purchased paysite content and shared it because I personally have never thought two wrongs make a right. I will however not judge others who do.

Beos I hate to say it but I don't think this should have anything to do with the EA. This to me is a simple matter of common decency and respect. It doesn't matter to me if it's pay or free I would fight for someone wronged in either situation, and I have several people know this. Like I said it's one thing to share a file...we all have shared a file with friends so I'm not going to pass judgement on those who do, I have a mirror. Weather it's music, desktop wallpaper, etc...but to rip a file apart, to claim the work is wrong. We have a right to disagree with an idea, to fight against that idea. We have 0 right to attack or try to destroy someone just because they believe differently than ourselves.

You can also turn of the little movie scenes in game settings I think they call them cut screens and see if that helps?

He could also click on disable custom content when the game loads, or in the game settings, and set them up in another town thats what I did with my grand-daughter. It only allows her to play with Maxis stuff that way. Sometimes she makes it back to my other neighborhoods pushing on buttons but she still doesn't get custom content because I have it disabled.

Or he could also do like you suggested keep all adult content in one folder he puts back in the game before he plays. Or do the separate user accounts, never thought of that one thank you Cat

Your correct this has been tried in courts here in the US without actual copyright protection I don't care what they tell you, no court in this land is going to award you a thing. This is why if you do a search on copyright cases you'll find 99.9 percent of them have been settled out of court with each side paying their own attorney costs and a cease order. Somewhere, someone has either drawn, painted, or made something very similar and they own the Patent. Which means at best you get limited copyright protection.

EA is smart enough to know they have limited copyright protection which is why "you" have to agree to a contract. Writing is different although many have lost on that issue as well. Artwork is set up to protect budding artists, moreso than the actual artist. But here we come full circle back to copyright and copyright has nothing 0 nada to do with contract laws.

Contract laws could care less what "you" think you own. Who made it. Who thinks they own copyright. Besides we give up any right to copyright on our own creations the minute we click on agree, we agreed to the terms of their contract. Here's the major difference, you violate copyright there are almost always set fines, cease orders. No biggy. You violate contract laws, the company sets the amount they feel are the losses. Some of these people really should use their brains. When you play with fire, you usually get burned. Maybe EA will never do nothing about paysites, and maybe they'll decide the lining in their pockets could also use some fattening. It's all about the almighty dollar and if they feel these people are getting to big a piece of the pie.

Hey I was thinking we could get some Van Helsing thing started, Ooo or how about Underworld...I would never harm your vamps your my favorite little pengie. But who else is gonna give you a hard time? :tongue2: <--looks just like me lol

They're all fantastic, I don't have any vamps in my game. I've only seen the head vamp once he must not like my Sims blood. Get back she's one of those goody goody girls nothing good happens around here...just look at those churches she put up. And oh my goodness now she's moved in a priest and some nuns. Are those angels over there? What's this Sim world coming too. lol

So I'll just download yours and have the town hunt them down...all I need is a good stake and hammer....OOooo

Here's a question for you...do you download a lot from free sites? Such as Insim and MTS2? If so I think before you decide to support pay sites, you should consider donating to them. They pay outrageous server costs and keep all content free. If we don't support them...snag things here, then go and pay for stuff elsewhere. Why should they remain free? Why not they too go pay? People snag from us for free then go and pay for it elsewhere. You see what I'm saying? I'm not saying they ever would, in fact I don't believe they ever would. I just think if were downloading a ton of stuff from them, then go and pay for stuff elsewhere we should consider donating to them first...for maintaining free sites for us. As far as are paysites worth it? Each person has to make their own decision on that.

Step away from the Johnny Depp Sim Kathy....nice and slowly. lol
Dew you should provide a link to your hat and teeth so everyone can get them for a change in outfit. I snagged em.

He's Fantastic Regina!! Thank you uploading him

So downloaded! Just like with the other one adding this into my Betty Page collection folder Thank you for sharing with us, this is fantastic.

He's so sexy, think I'll put him in my game and have him fall deeply madly in love with a Diana sim hehehe

Thank you Regina he is perfect!!

Ok I know I promised only one post, I'm gonna post just one more time. People on both sides want to point toward copyright law. This I do not understand? This has nothing to do with Copyright law per se, nor with trademark law. It has to do with Contractual law which is in EA's corner. Who among us thinks they can stand in front of a judge and have him say why did you agree to that contract if you didn't agree with it? Well I didn't know what was in it. This is not a ground for a defense.

What we have with EA is a contract a very legal contract, and we have to agree to said contract in order to install the game. Which is why there is the "I disagree" button. EA nor anyone else stands over us with and forces us to agree with their contract. That is totally our choice.

It is very similar to the contract ghost artists sign with more popular artists for them to sign off on. Contractual law and copyright law are two very different things. And ignorance of a contract you agree too is 0 grounds in a court of law for violation of that contract. The very minute we click on the I agree button we forfeit all said intellectual rights by a legal and binding "Contract" we have made with EA. Giving them "Contractual Copyright" which we no one else we agree too by contract.

Thank you Kathy, I think I'll bow out of this thread with just one comment. I think everyone knows my thoughts and feelings on this issue. I am not totally against paysites per se so much as the things that are happening on them. I myself have used paysites. I do not believe in anyway shape or form EA wanted their program to be used by others as a means to support themselves. Nor do I believe they intended for people to make a profit off their product. There are laws for this and they are called licensing agreements. That's all I am going to say. If it truly is a bandwidth issue, there are many other ways to address it and should be sought out. Now I'll just zip it
