This is reminding me of the Beachcomber story in which the twelve red-bearded dwarfs sued themselves.
Did they win?

I don't know a whole lot about legal intellectual property issues, especially being that there are probably multiple jurisdictional problems, but I would imagine that if it came into court that they used the very service to download that program that they are later suing, there's a good chance that they could convince a jury that they were just doing that for PR purposes, etc. But I seriously doubt they are going to sue anyone over this; cf. Spore, haven't heard any lawsuits over that. Suing people over the internets is really difficult; it's easier just to whine to internet providers and get internet service suspended/shut down.
You are right of course, but the whole thing just screams ridiculous.

??? Anyone know why there is no ceiling in my house? I put flooring above it to make a ceiling below and the roof disappears, I put the roof back and if the tiles are there it won't get on the house. Then, if I remove the flooring and put the roof back on there is no ceiling!
Surely someone knows the answer.

Well, my sim achieved that age-old Sims rite of passage by setting her kitchen on fire with Mac N Cheese.
New learnings:
- TS3 sims are much smarter about fires than TS2 sims. There was no firedance, and no motive hit either, which probably means that it'll be hard to kill them with fire too. She managed to extinguish it long before the fireman actually got there.
- When you burn down the stove, you get a clickable option to "Replace for $400," so you don't actually have to go into buy mode and figure out where it came from originally.
Did the sim have the "Brave" trait or something like that? One of my first playthroughs, a sim started a fire right off, and the family rushed into the kitchen, did the fire dance at it and blocked the door so the fireman couldn't get in to put it out, I would've tried to do something about it, but seeing the fire get even closer to all four of the family and tons of sims outside was too entertaining.

The product ID is listed as "OFB-SIM3". The current TS2 store offers some hair, clothes, etc. from the EPs; could it be that this hairstyle will be in an upcoming business-related EP for TS3? It might be called "OFB" as a placeholder name until they have a finalized title
It might mean that EA, continuing it's lazy streak, just took out the hairs from OFB and put them in the Store. The Storybook
theme that was shown also came from OFB, so it's probable that EA just used a placeholder name to mark where they took the hairs
from.

I think the court ordered them, in their capacity as one organization, to apologise to themselves in their capacity as the other.
