*blinks*
I just got a notification on my mediafire account that my sim file 'BulletsNoCC" has been removed after Universal Music filed a complaint against it for being in copyright violation of their music.
Bullets. You know the violinist sims from the Person Below Me. That I expressly didn't rar or anything so all her sim pack-y goodness was just hanging out there. *pinches brow* I'm really glad that the music drones are programed to recognize this new form of internet piracy, smuggling music inside of sims! Yes, this is a danger that has been plaguing the internets for too long!
I've never had a file pulled for copyright violation, so I spent a nice half hour explaining in massive detail exactly what a sims2.pack was, what the sims 2 are, the meaning behind the naming of the file, what the meaning behind Bullets name was, EA's own exchange policies and allowances and oh yeah, how a sims2.pack isn't a form of music and doesn't work if you don't have, you know, the Sims 2.
Well that makes me paranoid and totally not want to share sims anymore. Sitting on my hands not sharing sims anymore in case I'm in some weird flagged-by-Universal-Music-for-music-infringement-limbo where they are watching my cleverly disguised Razzle, waiting for her to really be 'Rock Me Like a Hurricane' and then they win! They win!!!.
Day 2: Waiting to hear back from them still.
