Unlocked "hidden" items from Sims 2, now illegal according to EA?

According to the current EULA, I don't see how they could determine them to be illegal. The closest clause would be "Without limiting the preceding sentence, you may not modify, reverse engineer, disassemble, license, transfer, distribute, create works from, or sell the Tool, or use the Tools & Materials to further any commercial or unlawful purpose." However, note that the sentence states you may not participate in those actions to further commercial or unlawful purpose. If it's not to further commercial or unlawful purpose, it's not against the EULA.
Just more bitchery from EA. Apparently someone realized they hadn't pissed off the community enough this week.
I seriously still don't know whether it was a cock puppet or the real deal. It seems like something that would be done just to stir up trouble, but of course being stupid enough to go around acting like they have authority around here sounds right up MaxoidDrea's street.

I saw a thread on the Sims 2 forum front page that was in regards to the hidden objects throughout all the EP's and SP's that were unlocked and made available to download and that EA has considered it illegal now.
Problem is, when I went to go read that thread it was deleted by the moderators. Did anyone get to see that thread and know anything more about that? I haven't seen anything removed from modthesims yet, but I'm wondering if this has something to do with the lamps that were extracted from Ikea Stuff?
Obviously, they changed their minds. What other interpretation can be drawn from the fact that the thread claiming such a thing no longer exists?

Are you referring to the drama involving this thread, in which MaxoidDrea (or a sockpuppet) turned up here and demanded the deletion of unlocked IKEA lamps made by Havelock?
Where is the thread that had Havelock's deleted lamps in it?
BastDawn:
Havelock deleted the entire thread, not just the lamps. :P
Inge:
That's a shame, it would have had historical value. Is that the thread that also had MaxoidDrea's posts in it?
