Educating the uneducated

Law Student. Not a Lawyer, yet. NY. Oh did you just post my personal information on a comment? No different from posting a PUBLIC patreon leakers profile to fellow creators really, is it?

Do they really deserve players?

Petition to EA?

Unlike some,

I do not need to call people psycho. I’m all fine and dandy. EA’s company. If they wanted to speak up, they would. They do not need players to do that for them.

I find it interesting that it’s always content creators who complain about people “stealing” aka sharing purchased pixels from them when they turn around do illegal actions themselves. Sharing people’s personal information with other content creators on patreon is breaking one of their security rules but some of you want to cry about people sharing your content?

You guys always take it to far, the doxxing, harrasement, and sharing personal info that could literally ruin someone financially beats your hurt feelings over someone uploading a package of your broken/high poly cc. You are messing around with people’s lives over a game that you don’t even own the rights to and it absolutely ridiculous. As for the people who run to kiss content creators ass, what are you getting out of it? Are you getting free cc? Do they become your life long friend? Do they call to check up on you when you’re sick? Did it shave 10 years off your life? Are they paying your rent? what is it giving you? Cause the people who buy their content and sharing with the rest of us are helping you from these greedy ass content creators who don’t care about you but just your wallet.

So as far as I’m concerned, if this type of behavior is okay from content creators, then by all means keep sharing their content. If you bought it, you can share it. So if content creators like Slephora (which is funny cause their name is a play off sephora, putting an L doesn’t change the fact you ripped it from Sephora) are publically telling people they are going to share people’s personal info with others, screen shot it and send it to patreon. You can check their security page here and you can email them at [email protected]. If you feel like you’ve been wrongfully blocked by a content creator(s) and you find yourself being or have been blocked by multiple content creators out of the blue, then that is pure evidence that your information was leaked/shared and you can go to patreon and show/tell them that. A lot of times there are innocent people who are just being randomly blocked and having their information shared and that’s not okay.

[mack3030]

I’d also recommend contacting Sephora (the company) about the copyright infringement using this email: [email protected] Since this person wants to use their brand to make money off of it. :) Remember, personal info, even as simple as a first + last name and email can tell you a lot. It can allow you to look people up on facebook, it can allow you to potentially see what people do for work, etc. All of that information should not be shared by people on patreon. You are trusting them with your info when you purchase something. If they want to “block you” sure. That’s fine. But going and distributing your personal information to other creators is not acceptable and should be reported RIGHT away. :)

[loookawway]

Forgive me for any mistakes or weird formatting, I’m on mobile but I’m sick of hearing creators sharing personal information of their pledges (yes, an email is personal info) with others. You see this shit happening, report them right away instead of waiting for others to do it.

You don’t even have to be the one they did it to for Patreon to do something about it.

These gross creators have gotten too comfortable. Show them that there are consequences for their goddamn actions.

Interesting. But you do have proof that creators are actually sharing subscribers “personal information”? It is very serious accusation to make, and this kind of report would not be valid without actual evidence. To falsely accuse a creator of doing so could very well get you into legal trouble, given the nature of the accusation.  Patreon creators do not need to give out any personal information of a subscriber who is pirating their creations. They can easily and legally share your PUBLIC profile with other creators, which they are legally allowed to do, and let other creators know that way, leading to you be “mass blocked” and thus having your account flagged, and possibly terminated, as well as any future account you create. Patreon takes piracy reports very seriously. You also seem to be missing one valid point, though. When you choose to join patreon, you agree to their Terms of use.

As stated above in patreon’s Terms of use,

- Creators keep full ownership of all creations they offer on patreon, and - Patrons MAY NOT use creations posted by creators in any way not authorized by the creator.

In a nutshell, you do not “own” any of the benefits received, and if a creator specifically states that you cannot redistribute their content, you can’t. To do so, would be breaking the terms you legally agreed to when joining.

[loookawway]

There have been multiple instances of sim creators taking the info of people who they suspect are sharing their content and sharing it in their little circles. If you took the time to actually look at and read @mack3030​​ ‘s tumblr (instead of this pathetic alt-account, faux lawyer, copy-paste thing you’ve been doing), you’d see that have a pinned post full of multiple examples of creators doxing and black-listing the people who pay them a wage. 

That includes that little screenshot up top with Sephora-- my bad! I meant Slephora basically ratting themselves out to sharing the personal name and email of whoever they assume are sharing their ‘work’. Man, ego really makes people do crazy things, don’t it? 

Oh, and here’s my personal favorite from Plasticsims!

It doesn’t matter if it’s personal or public info, giving out someone’s real life information still goes against the terms of service for many sites, including Patreon! And it’s still morally fucked up no matter how you try to spin it, even if it is to Beyonce’s song Survivor lol.

Now, about the trademark and copy-right laws; these were meant to protect people who actually OWN what they make. You know, people who draw, paint, do podcasts or make videos and/or music, etc.

Not people who make their wage off of the sims. A property owned by Electronic Arts. Speaking of which, here comes my favorite part that ‘creators’ like Slephora and flying monkies like you love to hate:

Here’s the same text transcribed if you need it, but you probably won’t read it right?

When you contribute UGC, you grant to EA, its licensors and licensees a non-exclusive, perpetual, transferable, worldwide, sublicensable license to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, create derivative works, publicly perform, publicly display or otherwise transmit and communicate the UGC, or any portion of it, in any manner or form and in any medium or forum, whether now known or later devised, without notice, payment or attribution of any kind to you or any third party. 

You also grant to all other users who can access and use your UGC on an EA Service the right to use, copy, modify, display, perform, create derivative works from, and otherwise communicate and distribute your UGC on or through the relevant EA Service without further notice, attribution or compensation to you.

Still having a hard time processing this “brand new” information? Have a direct link so you can look for yourself. With this stewing in your head, take a look at this example of a situation I’ve cooked up to convert this into simpler terms:

Say if Jane wanted to take Slephora’s ‘Google Images/Pinterest’ lipstick CC and recolor them and then redistribute them, well, Jane would be within her right to do so since both Jane and Slephora agreed to EA’s terms of service when they first made an EA/Origin account.

Patreon’s Copyright and Trademark policies do not protect content made for and using The Sims 4 as a platform to host plain and simple.

But, hey! I’m sure these creators who have never acknowledged your existence let alone ever thought about you really do appreciate your attempt at being sims lawyer 2.0.

So…that’s worth something I guess!

[shuttingshitdown]

Read carefully >

“UCG on or THROUGH a relevant EA service” The Gallery is the only relevant EA service. Content acquired from Patreon is not content accessed from a relevant EA service. Patreon and such sites are not affiliated with EA.  As for Slephora, their name is their problem, however people shouldn’t make assumptions that he is sharing “personal information”, when there is no actual evidence.  “Patreon’s Copyright and Trademark policies do not protect content made for and using The Sims 4 as a platform to host plain and simple” Do you work for Patreon? Where does it state that? Must have missed that bit! People are freely and legally allowed to share links to PUBLIC pages, a public page is not private nor personal information. Just the same as people share profiles with one another from many different sites around the world; “Hey, have you seen this twitter profile *link*?” “Hey, have you seen this instagram *link*?” It is not illegal to share a public profile. This is why there is so much spoken about about what you should and shouldn’t post online. If they PUBLICLY share things that are not already PUBLIC, such as full name, private email, etc. then yes, that is indeed DOXXING. However, if someone is engaging in piracy to start with, it is a bit hypocritical. What’s morally fucked up is pirating to start with, then complaining you’ve been blocked. Funny how y’all miss this part, too.

But, uh, “It’s just worded badly!” How convenient. The copyright law was already in place long before EA;

And;

[loookawway]

Sorry, what exactly do you think the game The Sims is? An EA service.

What do you think Origin is? An EA service.

I would love to see where it says otherwise or specifies that the Gallery is the only service regarding the sims series as a whole.

These creators use TS4 and Origin as a platform required for their content to work. I’m sick of you and all these other physco creators throwing those doctored screenshots around. 

Drake was not apart of EA’s legal department at their time of employment.

Even if these screenshots were real, they still hold no weight. On top of the fact that the source of those screen shots remains unknown as well as unconfirmed by Drake still to this day.

Patreon’s TOS does not protect a creator using The Sims 4 and Origin when the TOS (for said platform required for the content to even work in the first place) states that creators do not hold the right to what they create for any sims entry. 

Also, may I say that it’s quite hypocritical of you to throw copyright and trade-mark laws around when there are creators who use brand names like Gucci, Supreme, Louis Vuitton, Bergdorf, Sephora in the content they “create”. I’m sure you don’t go around bothering them with your “confident nonsense speak” when they infringe on the copyright of these legitimate brands.

Or how about when they use copyright protected images from Pinterest or Google Images? Where were you then as this is the first time I’ve ever seen your account! Guess you were MIA?

But the second a creator rats themselves out about doxing someone, you magically appear. Even if it is public information, again, it is still against Patreon’s TOS to share the personal information of the people who pledge to you. I cannot fathom why you’re attempting to explain away how doxing someone is “a-okay!!!” because they shared something they’ve paid for.

Try and take any of this garbage to a judge and not be laughed out of the court house. If you were a real law student, you would know that.

I cannot understand why people like you do this whole song and dance for “creators” who only see you as a dollar sign. Honestly, what sort of satisfaction do you get out of it?  Do yourself a favor and wasting your time defending and ass kissing these shitty creators. 

They won’t return the favor, I promise you.

[shuttingshitdown]

Also; yes, The Sims game it’s self is an EA service. However, content acquired on Patreon is not acquiring content ON an EA service, it’s acquiring it THROUGH patreon. Says there in BLACK AND WHITE; ON or THROUGH a relevant EA service; which is THE GALLERY.

[sweetenernsims]

Yeah, about that;

“Drake was not apart of EA’s legal department at their time of employment.”

- In that case, how come you take what the exact same person said about early access, as a “RULE”?

And why isn’t this so “early access rule” in EA’s TOS/EULA? You only chose to believe what you want to believe, and chose to ignore digital copyright laws to suit.

Do you honestly think EA wouldn’t have done something about this, if that was the case? Felix for example. Well known, friends with a GAME CHANGER; Harrie. They wouldn’t just ignore it.

[shuttingshitdown]

It is actually ridiculous

How many burner accounts Mack3030 aka SOLAR has. I’m sure EA will be pretty amused to see their antics and engagement with the piracy community.

I literally give a screen shot/picture of a sims patreon creator ADMITTING how they are going to share people’s info with their patreon friends and some fake sims laywer is going to ask for proof? It’s right there, how do you miss that big ass screenshot? I know it’ one these pro patreon fake accounts cause no real lawyer or law student is wasting their time on tumblr over the sims- of all things and places.

EA told all of you that you CAN put your works on patreon for 2 to 3 weeks and after that if should be free, but once again you ignore the rules for your own benifet but love to bark at others for not following your rules. Piracy isn’t a issue here, cause most of us are paying these people in order to obtain the content, it not just falling out of the sky and onto our PCs out of thin air.

Its a buyer/seller relationship: I give you the money, they give me the content, If i decide I want to share what I’ve already bought, I’m well in my right to do so. You don’t see walmart or game companies coming after people for letting their friends have or borrow a game they already bought..cause it was bought. Not only is this person using the sims to make money, they are using a real make up brand “sephora” logo for their own profit. But will ignore that type of copyright infringement because sims patreon creators are treated like God here and can get away it.

Most patreon creators wouldn’t have to worry about this if they weren’t doing exclusives, weren’t doxxing, weren’t going MIA, weren’t placing trackers, weren’t making people ask for a link after paying then ignored them for weeks or months, weren’t having a temper tamtrum about their content being shared but having the audacity to take model/meshes from other games/sites and placing them behind a paywall, weren’t deleting links when they dont get their way. The sims 4 patreon community is one of the biggest hyprocrital gaming communities I ever witnessed. A lot of you love to point fingers at people about how they’re doing you so wrong even though your’re doing the exact same shit.

Also I’m going to need some proof that your’re a law student from NY (not really smart to tell me where your from even though im sure its fake) and not some account made 5 mins ago to ironically come after people like me and mack. Surprisingly everything you reblogged thus far comes from my blog or macks blog and definitely not enough law shit. So I know you’re bullshitting already. Tell your friend Hauntedpenguin I said hi, chances are it’s probably you or one of your friends anyway cause only Hauntedpenguin would stay hell bent about the gallery shit while ignoring the rest of the Eula as usual. Also real honesty here, these people aren’t your friends. They haven’t acknowlege you one bit..but i love your optimism so you keep trying girlfriend.

oh and one more thing, reblog this anytime someone tries to give you this crap:

“You don’t see walmart or game companies coming after people for letting their friends have or borrow a game they already bought..cause it was bought.”

The law regarding PHYSICAL items is different to digital items; https://www.cs.odu.edu/~tkennedy/cs300/development/Public/M09-PiracyAndFileSharing/index.html#:~:text=Internet%20piracy%20is%20the%20illegal,music%20and%20others%20(12). When you let a friend borrow a physical game, that’s it. Only one of you has it, not both of you. Just as downloading music, films, and such; It is mean for one person. Snooping on my profile are we? Why would you ask for my personal information? At no point did Slephora say he was going to share any *PERSONAL INFORMATION*. He could easily and legally just send the pirates PUBLIC profile to fellow creators. That is not ILLEGAL nor DOXXING. Piracy is. People are legally allowed to share public information, that’s the internet. Oh and one more thing, 

[sweetenernsims]

I find it interesting that it’s always content creators who complain about people “stealing” aka sharing purchased pixels from them when they turn around do illegal actions themselves. Sharing people’s personal information with other content creators on patreon is breaking one of their security rules but some of you want to cry about people sharing your content?

You guys always take it to far, the doxxing, harrasement, and sharing personal info that could literally ruin someone financially beats your hurt feelings over someone uploading a package of your broken/high poly cc. You are messing around with people’s lives over a game that you don’t even own the rights to and it absolutely ridiculous. As for the people who run to kiss content creators ass, what are you getting out of it? Are you getting free cc? Do they become your life long friend? Do they call to check up on you when you’re sick? Did it shave 10 years off your life? Are they paying your rent? what is it giving you? Cause the people who buy their content and sharing with the rest of us are helping you from these greedy ass content creators who don’t care about you but just your wallet.

So as far as I’m concerned, if this type of behavior is okay from content creators, then by all means keep sharing their content. If you bought it, you can share it. So if content creators like Slephora (which is funny cause their name is a play off sephora, putting an L doesn’t change the fact you ripped it from Sephora) are publically telling people they are going to share people’s personal info with others, screen shot it and send it to patreon. You can check their security page here and you can email them at [email protected]. If you feel like you’ve been wrongfully blocked by a content creator(s) and you find yourself being or have been blocked by multiple content creators out of the blue, then that is pure evidence that your information was leaked/shared and you can go to patreon and show/tell them that. A lot of times there are innocent people who are just being randomly blocked and having their information shared and that’s not okay.

[mack3030]

I’d also recommend contacting Sephora (the company) about the copyright infringement using this email: [email protected] Since this person wants to use their brand to make money off of it. :) Remember, personal info, even as simple as a first + last name and email can tell you a lot. It can allow you to look people up on facebook, it can allow you to potentially see what people do for work, etc. All of that information should not be shared by people on patreon. You are trusting them with your info when you purchase something. If they want to “block you” sure. That’s fine. But going and distributing your personal information to other creators is not acceptable and should be reported RIGHT away. :)

[loookawway]

Forgive me for any mistakes or weird formatting, I’m on mobile but I’m sick of hearing creators sharing personal information of their pledges (yes, an email is personal info) with others. You see this shit happening, report them right away instead of waiting for others to do it.

You don’t even have to be the one they did it to for Patreon to do something about it.

These gross creators have gotten too comfortable. Show them that there are consequences for their goddamn actions.

[mack3030]

[shuttingshitdown]

Interesting. But you do have proof that creators are actually sharing subscribers “personal information”? It is very serious accusation to make, and this kind of report would not be valid without actual evidence. To falsely accuse a creator of doing so could very well get you into legal trouble, given the nature of the accusation.  Patreon creators do not need to give out any personal information of a subscriber who is pirating their creations. They can easily and legally share your PUBLIC profile with other creators, which they are legally allowed to do, and let other creators know that way, leading to you be “mass blocked” and thus having your account flagged, and possibly terminated, as well as any future account you create. Patreon takes piracy reports very seriously. You also seem to be missing one valid point, though. When you choose to join patreon, you agree to their Terms of use.

As stated above in patreon’s Terms of use,

- Creators keep full ownership of all creations they offer on patreon, and - Patrons MAY NOT use creations posted by creators in any way not authorized by the creator.

In a nutshell, you do not “own” any of the benefits received, and if a creator specifically states that you cannot redistribute their content, you can’t. To do so, would be breaking the terms you legally agreed to when joining.

[loookawway]

There have been multiple instances of sim creators taking the info of people who they suspect are sharing their content and sharing it in their little circles. If you took the time to actually look at and read @mack3030​​ ‘s tumblr (instead of this pathetic alt-account, faux lawyer, copy-paste thing you’ve been doing), you’d see that have a pinned post full of multiple examples of creators doxing and black-listing the people who pay them a wage. 

That includes that little screenshot up top with Sephora-- my bad! I meant Slephora basically ratting themselves out to sharing the personal name and email of whoever they assume are sharing their ‘work’. Man, ego really makes people do crazy things, don’t it? 

Oh, and here’s my personal favorite from Plasticsims!

It doesn’t matter if it’s personal or public info, giving out someone’s real life information still goes against the terms of service for many sites, including Patreon! And it’s still morally fucked up no matter how you try to spin it, even if it is to Beyonce’s song Survivor lol.

Now, about the trademark and copy-right laws; these were meant to protect people who actually OWN what they make. You know, people who draw, paint, do podcasts or make videos and/or music, etc.

Not people who make their wage off of the sims. A property owned by Electronic Arts. Speaking of which, here comes my favorite part that ‘creators’ like Slephora and flying monkies like you love to hate:

Here’s the same text transcribed if you need it, but you probably won’t read it right?

When you contribute UGC, you grant to EA, its licensors and licensees a non-exclusive, perpetual, transferable, worldwide, sublicensable license to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, create derivative works, publicly perform, publicly display or otherwise transmit and communicate the UGC, or any portion of it, in any manner or form and in any medium or forum, whether now known or later devised, without notice, payment or attribution of any kind to you or any third party. 

You also grant to all other users who can access and use your UGC on an EA Service the right to use, copy, modify, display, perform, create derivative works from, and otherwise communicate and distribute your UGC on or through the relevant EA Service without further notice, attribution or compensation to you.

Still having a hard time processing this “brand new” information? Have a direct link so you can look for yourself. With this stewing in your head, take a look at this example of a situation I’ve cooked up to convert this into simpler terms:

Say if Jane wanted to take Slephora’s ‘Google Images/Pinterest’ lipstick CC and recolor them and then redistribute them, well, Jane would be within her right to do so since both Jane and Slephora agreed to EA’s terms of service when they first made an EA/Origin account.

Patreon’s Copyright and Trademark policies do not protect content made for and using The Sims 4 as a platform to host plain and simple.

But, hey! I’m sure these creators who have never acknowledged your existence let alone ever thought about you really do appreciate your attempt at being sims lawyer 2.0.

So…that’s worth something I guess!

[shuttingshitdown]

Read carefully >

“UCG on or THROUGH a relevant EA service” The Gallery is the only relevant EA service. Content acquired from Patreon is not content accessed from a relevant EA service. Patreon and such sites are not affiliated with EA.  As for Slephora, their name is their problem, however people shouldn’t make assumptions that he is sharing “personal information”, when there is no actual evidence.  “Patreon’s Copyright and Trademark policies do not protect content made for and using The Sims 4 as a platform to host plain and simple” Do you work for Patreon? Where does it state that? Must have missed that bit! People are freely and legally allowed to share links to PUBLIC pages, a public page is not private nor personal information. Just the same as people share profiles with one another from many different sites around the world; “Hey, have you seen this twitter profile *link*?” “Hey, have you seen this instagram *link*?” It is not illegal to share a public profile. This is why there is so much spoken about about what you should and shouldn’t post online. If they PUBLICLY share things that are not already PUBLIC, such as full name, private email, etc. then yes, that is indeed DOXXING. However, if someone is engaging in piracy to start with, it is a bit hypocritical. What’s morally fucked up is pirating to start with, then complaining you’ve been blocked. Funny how y’all miss this part, too.

But, uh, “It’s just worded badly!” How convenient. The copyright law was already in place long before EA;

And;

[shuttingshitdown]

*Subscriber reports a creator for blocking them* “Hello, I am reporting this creator for blocking me and leaking my personal information!” *Patreon* “Do you have proof?” *Subscriber* “Sure, here!” *Patreon* “Okay, so you were blocked for piracy, which is illegal?” *Subscriber* “Uhhh o_0″ Do you honestly think patreon will wave over the fact you were the one that committed a crime in the first place? Along with no actual evidence your personal information (NOT *PUBLIC* PROFILE) was perhaps *privately* given to other creators?

[shuttingshitdown]

Well done, Solar.

Thank you for sharing your username; thesunnygopher. I’m sure EA will be delighted to know of, and possibly ban your account, given how you have broken their terms/EULA. Organizing anti-patreon piracy groups, harassing and bullying creators? Yes, that does indeed go against their TOS. Your page is practically dedicated bashing them and encouraging hate towards them. Do you have nothing else better to do? All of this in your free time? 

You have illegally engaged in/contributed to piracy. “Distributing UCG that you don’t have permission to freely distribute” Content of which you did not acquire through a relevant EA service (The Gallery) patreon, SFS, and so on are NOT part of EA, so content acquired off those sites do not apply. Don’t you think EA would have done something by now, if that was the case?

If you feel so strongly, why not reach out to EA and do things the correct way?  Oh, that’s right. You have, and they ignored you. I wonder why that is?

Ahhh yes, this little bean.

This little bean who includes FREE content from OTHER creators in their “early access” builds, many of which creators specifically ask for their creations to not be included in downloads. @peacemaker-ic​ for example - wonderful creations. Does not allow his creations to be included in downloads that are EARLY ACCESS. Does she care, though? No.
