    Report and move on. There is no much else you can do.

    As for people who do this more than once, I think the mods have a system where they only get a certain number of strikes, then a ban or suspend.

    People are too lazy to just create something themselves...smh. I'd recommend going to the person that stole it and kindly asking them to remove it. If they refuse then just continue to report I guess. I had an old account on here and this one girl stole 2 of my sims, I asked her to remove them and she did. That's probably the best way to go about it.

    The thing is people shouldn't report it on here. This should be taken to the gurus and other TS3 employees in a private manner.

    I disagree. Fakers should be exposed and publicly humiliated. From what I could see, riowr stole these from the Mediafire site before uploading to the exchange as his own work. Thats not plagiarism, that's outright theft.

    Riowr is not a faker or a thief. He/she is totally operating within the EULA and is within his/her right to re-upload whatever he/she sees as fit, since the item uploaded belongs in its entirety to EA.

    The person originally responsible for the builds is the one operating outside the EULA by uploading to mediafire and claiming property not belonging to him/her as his/hers own.

    Once more, an item you build in TS3 is only 'yours' for as long as you keep it local. And even then it still is the property of EA.

    Note that anyone of us able to post here have told EA that they've read and are aware and understanding of the EULA. Whether or not the EULA while hold in court if someone had time and money enough to file an explorative law-suit is another matter. Right now, a good deal of us on here are jiffy with the EULA since '09.

    This is how you take something to the gurus.... By posting on the forum. :)

    You are definitely right on that aspect. And they are not wrong for posting that their builds were stolen. I agree with the OP. If something I WORKED so hard in creating was stolen the first thing I would do is report them then post in the forums to bring attention to it. Its the best thing to because in my own opinion of course, the more attention you bring to something the more chances for action to be taken on the situation. I hope you get justice.

    Is all about ... thank
    ggoyam, she helped me there is no way to solve.
    Ago, on the official website used to house Exchange.
    See my studio.
    To upload, errors were common.
    So I did not upload.
    But hard to house personal blog.
    riorw, he was my house, download and modify them, and upload.
    Wrote a message on his page.
    Stole my house, I said.
    However, it has not been resolved.

    I asked for help to her.
    She is not a third party.
    We made ​​to the World.
    We are a team.

    Is very unpleasant.
    Due to the low user, my effort was a mess.
    Shut off my blog in order to prevent other damage.
    Also created a new house, I will not be uploaded.

    Because of one person, a house with a lot of people will not be shared.
    Four house because he had freely upload, 100 houses were buried.
    The new house, I decided to not upload.

    Really angry.

    Still writes Google Translator
    I can only Korean because

    You said it yourself, that they modified it and uploaded it. In other words, not against the rules.... I know it stinks but theres not really anything you can do except report it..... If they just downloaded then reuploaded the house as their own its one thing but since they edited it its technically "theirs" now.

    I don't really think its right to publically call out this person, yes they did something morally wrong but thats why theres customer service, live chat, and gurus (you can post on their wall).. theres nothing anyone here can do except bash this person even more (and report it I guess, but how far does that ever get anyone?)

    Sorry to be so harsh, but when you upload anything to the internet anyone can use it and claim it as their own. Doesn't make it right, but its the truth. And it states in the EULA that EA owns anything uploaded to this site.. Maybe try setting your profile to private so only your friends can see your studio?

    See, this is why people shouldn't be so quick to jump on them...... who knows how sincere this is, but it seems to me like nobody really asked them to take the houses off before they went and made a thread bashing the person for it. Stealing houses isn't right, but publically humiliating (even after they take the houses off their page!!!) them is a whole other level of low.

    I told him back in October that he's not supposed to re-upload them. Making a thread was a good decision, because usually nothing happens even if there are a lot of people reporting the content. If the issue gets a lot of attention, EA is more likely to do something.

    "Publically humiliating is a whole another level of low" ?? They were just telling what he has done himself. There's absolutely nothing wrong with what the thread starter did. Trying to protect the guilty one is so silly to me. If you do something wrong like this, then you have to take the consequences.

    Anyway, riorw's apology is appreciated by me! : )

    R47 8)

    It doesn't matter how many EP someone has; The EULA includes all.
    'local' means that the file is on your PC only. No definition needed, me thinks, it's common jargon.
    Once you export your file away from your PC, it isn't local anymore.

    It doesn't matter that he is the 'original builder'. The result belongs to EA and he can stake no claim to anything that happens to anything he uploads.

    Another thing... if I upload a simple recolor of a basegame bracelet, I get upwards of 500 downloads on it. With that in mind, the drama in this thread is out of proportion.

    Riowr is well within his right to re-upload anything he downloads, because the item does not belong to him nor the person who created it. The item quite simply belongs to EA.

    Your only defense is either to not upload, or to reject the EULA and uninstall your game.

    Just to clarify, again....... the original builder did'nt upload to the exchange.... riorwr did'nt 're-upload'. He took the files from the Mediafire account and uploaded to the exchange as his own work. Hope you can understand.

    R47 :?:

    ps: What drama ? Apart from the attempts at policing, I think this thread has been remarkably un-dramatic... did I miss something ?

    pps: Personally, I find threads of this type serve two very useful purposes :

    1. People might be discouraged from stealing other peoples work and posting as their own if they're aware of the backlash they're going to get, if and when they're caught out.

    2. More builders might post more creations if they know they're going to get the respect due to them for their hard work. An acknowledgement to the original builder is the simplest part of a re-color/re-build.

    You're missing the point. The item belongs to EA, not to the uploader or the re-uploader.
    EA can take the item, do absolutely nothing with it and use it in it's entirety in one of their new worlds, without owning anybody anything.

    The very game doesn't even belong to you, digitally or physically, you buy the license to use the software.

    That's why the whole discussion of ownership of an item in this situation is moot. Trying to work around the EULA by uploading elsewhere also doesn't work, because the item belongs to EA. It doesn't become somehow magically yours.

    People who create stuff in TS3 are unpayed EA-employees, in a manner of speaking. It's thankless job.

    That seems quite a drastic thing to do just because someone stole something you don't really own. I find these threads hilarious and usually read them to see all the silly outrage and futile foot stomping over S3 creations. Yes, it's annoying to have someone claim your creations, but there's not really much you can do. In fact, you don't really own them, EA does.

    However, to come here and ask us to judge something going on outside the S3 website actually crosses a line. In fact, if you think about it...this could just be a publicity stunt for someone to try and get downloads/recs here and to drive traffic to an unknown blog.

    Anyway, folks, keep up your squabbling--it's highly entertaining!

    I get the aspect that if a person does something wrong, they do actually deserve the humiliation. It is very obvious that riorw stole, right?

    IS it actually obvious? Or maybe there's another blog where they were originally stolen from. We can't actually know and that's one reason these threads are so terrible and are usually deleted.

    You can't just go around accusing someone, calling them out in the forum, and expect it to be OK. It's not.
