Does this make sense?
BlueSoup:
I downloaded hacks from TJ without ever being a member, so you don't need to be a member to download anything, only to post in the forums.

Gali, I understand your point, but I wanted to make a point to Rentech. The mods are still available. They can be downloaded even as a guest. Also, Dizzy posts his mods at MTS2 and Merola has his own site. I didn't come by my decision lightly. This latest issue with VampCat is what did it. I won't download off that site anymore. Period.

Oh, I didn't know that you can have access to the mods, and as BlueSoup says, she is not a member, and downloads from VS.
Nevertheless, I really think there should be some global decision about running a web-site.
I remember, that when I played TS1, some web-site owner, not knowing the etique rules, copied files he liked from all the Sim sites (mainly "7 deadly sims"), and published them on his site. I was quite glad downloading from his site, but 7 deadly sims sued him (I don't know where), and he was forced to close his site.
I asked the owners of 7DS, why they sued him, and they said that he had to accept first their permission, and as he didn't, they had the right to sue him for copywrite creations and publishing them. After that, any object published on the web was scanned with a microscope if it's breaking the copywrite rule.
Lol, I had a friend, web-site owner, who was accused of publishing some bed (i.e. copied the bed, recolored it, and putting it on her site). She was terrified, because this bed was her own creation. She was forced to give the file to the accusers, to be scanned, and after that they admitted that it's her own creation.
May be the link-blockage is too a matter of sue? What the Internet rules say?

in effect Vamp cat is claiming he can turn out a mod that two Jeffs originally made the buyable rewards collection which I use quite frequently. and claiming that because the rewards were a maxis object although not in package form like two jeffs did them he can willy nilly turn out the same thing under the guise of giving the public a "choice" that is why if I could cancel my membership at VS I would. its just wrong in my opinion :-X
