Title: Be glad this doesn't happen in Freespace2's community
Post by: Scooby_Doo on April 02, 2009, 12:07:56 am
 A tale of hacking, and other things...  aka "TSR hacks into Buggy's MTS2 account"
http://forums.sims-community.com/showthread.php?t=66708&page=1&pp=25 (http://forums.sims-community.com/showthread.php?t=66708&page=1&pp=25)


TSR = thesimsresource.com, a custom content paysite with horrible content and horrible personalities. (Also in bed with EA)
MTS2 = modthesims2.com, a custom content freesite with generally good quality stuff, some of it's poor newbew stuff, some of it is absolutely wonderful.

Yes, poor person got caught in the middle of all of it.

It would be like if someone were to copy TBP or Saga or etc.... and sell it, totally ignore the EULA (which is part of the Sims EULA, commerical use is prohibited, even though they themselves turn a blind eye)

BTW Thoma$  is the Derek Smart of Sims.  :lol:

lol thats what the Booty is for (http://paysites.mustbedestroyed.org/booty/ (http://paysites.mustbedestroyed.org/booty/))  All the pay stuff for free  ;)
No matter how much B.S. TSR gives about it, it 100% legal according to the EULA.

Yup, there's enough idiots out there....

Worse yet the pay stuff is usually crap.  They go so far as photoshop it to make it look better than what it really is.

I've never had to go to a paysite. MTS2 pretty much has everything you'd ever want. Really crappy stuff doesn't stay there for long if there's better versions...

I don't play Sims, because I'd much rather be blowing people up than helping them live their lives but ... Yeah, we're pretty damn lucky this don't happen on any FS2 site.

Use the cheat to drop satellites on them. ;7

Wow, not even my five - six years of character creating could save those two sims...

I read the response from TSR. TSR is totally bull****ting people and covering their asses.

One of the reasons I like sims is there's no pressure, usually.  It's kinda a relaxing game, not an aderline game.  Also when you've got a lot of sims invited over it's kinda fun watching how they all interact with each other.

Mahahha

People who play games like "The Sims" worry me.

Why would I watch my character exercise when I could be exercising, et al.

Better yet....THE ETERNAL PARADOX...

/Vrets, playing The Sims, watches SimVrets play on his SimComputer

"Damn, SimVrets is probably playing a better game than I am. I bet SimVrets is playing SimFreespace."

/Vrets turns off The Sims and plays FreeSpace

Copyright infringement report - Urgent


Dear Sir or Madam:

We represent The Sims Resource (www.thesimsresource.com). A wholly owned
division of IBIBI HB, located in Sweden.

A brief description of our business model can be found here:
http://www.thesimsresource.com/helpcenter/about

It has come to our attention that a few domains using your host services
have waged a war against our company. Your customer, hosting the domain
"mustbedetroyed.org" has as its sole objective the destruction of our
site: http://paysites.mustbedestroyed.org/mission.html . Upon further
research it is apparent that this activity is in direct violation of
your TOS, specifically where copyright infringements are concerned.

Your customer has self-appointed himself to defend the position of
Electronic Arts, Inc., (EA) and its End User License Agreement (EULA)
for the Sims Label. Your customer maintains that our company and others
with similar business models violate the EULA listed here:
http://paysites.mustbedestroyed.org/. Yet it has been confirmed by EA
that the EULA listed is limited to the game software, and there exists a
separate EULA that applies to our business model:
http://bbs.thesims2.ea.com/community/bbs/messages.php?threadID=17989d983b8aa06886b13273b94f2387&directoryID=2&startRow=1&openItemID=item.2,item.43,item.61,item.104,item.41,item.127,item.23

Despite this clarification, your customer continues his defamation. In
short, EA states that our business model is NOT in violation of their
EULA. Your customer has a selective interpretation of the situation, and
on that basis alone, has mounted an army of disillusioned miscreants
against us.

We have also contacted your customer's previous hosting companies. He
boasts about "beyond the law" and hiding behind Asian hosts to thwart
our attempts. An example of our ongoing battle is listed here:
http://paysites.mustbedestroyed.org/legal/tsr.txt . Your customer has a
startling lack of regard for authority and continues to bounce from
hosts and providers. He is still using a combination of different
companies to hide his illegal activities:
http://www.robtex.com/dns/mustbedestroyed.org.html .

As listed on this page http://abuse.dreamhost.com/copyright/ , your
customer violates this policy by redistributing content without
authorization: http://paysites.mustbedestroyed.org/booty/ . Please note
that the attack is not limited to our company. In addition to this
violation he further condones software piracy and his forums propagate
discussions about redistributing content on other external sites as well.

We trust now that your customer's activities have been brought to your
attention you will find him in violation of your rules. Please contact
us if we can be of further assistance in clarifying any of the nuances
regarding the ownership of the contact your customer is redistributing.

Sincerely,
Thomas Isaksson
The Sims Reource

You know honestly I haven't seen them pillow fight in ages. I always thought it was kinda funny watching them battle it out with pillows and running around everywhere with them  :lol:

It also looks like a chinese takeout container there, on the floor by the pizza.  That was a complete and utter FAIL.  You actually get hungrier eating it LOL
