Would TSR really tamper with their files in order to purposely crash your game?
You will have read by now that, by its own admission, TSR place trojans in their downloads to gain information on the downloader. They refer to this trojan as an innocent sounding ’Watermark’, although there has never been anything innocent about trojans or spyware, and their trojan is as far away from a real watermark as you can get.
Here is a posing question for you, would TSR really code its trojan, so that if anyone would try to remove this intrusive spyware, it would cause the download file to break and actually crash your game, potentially damaging your computer?
BlackGarden has the answer…

ATWA steals free site name.
For some time Atwa has been stealing CC creators names to hide her own identity. This time she has stolen the name of a free site, and has made her own future paysite with it, She is also using it on TSR and intends to use that name to reach the FA position with Toms help.

Respect for FA’s?
In September, a key FA who had worked for TSR for over 7 years, spanning both TS1 and TS2 games ‘retired’. She raked in the money for TSR, and was always considered a coup for the site, but when she had some homelife problems which caused her updates to slow down, TSR were very understanding….

My Blog
Hello and welcome to my blog. In this blog I will give the Sims 2 community a little understanding of a fraction of what goes on within a paysite. For years players have speculated, sometimes rightly and sometimes wrongly, about the TSR myths and legends. Here I hope to give positive proof on subjects ranging from DDos attacks to sharing information gathered from paypal transactions.
This blog is not defamatory, abusive or threatening.
To be defamatory the contents would need to be ”a false and unprivileged statement of fact that is harmful to someone’s reputation” As some of this blog contains screenshots of actual posts, for reasons of proof, the posters themselves are the ones making the statements. An example being: a screencap of a group of people admitting they have just made a bandwidth attack on another website is different to myself stating that they did so with no proof of the fact. The reporting here is much the same as you would see in any newspaper, If a public figure openly posted in public that he was sharing someones personal information, or attacking someones servers, a newspaper would report this as a general interest to the public providing they had proof of the dirty deeds actually taking place. TSR do not deny anything written here, in fact they posted a full admission on the front page of their website ( in their news section ) This coupled with the fact the posts were made by them in the public domain makes it impossible for them to hold up the defamatory card. The names and personal details of the innocent people they exposed have been blurred by myself.

It’s also worth noting that according to the EULA provided by EA Games for the sims 2, paysites such as TSR are illegal. Electronic Arts Inc state that ‘fansites’ may only operate a personal noncommercial website for the noncommercial benefit of the fan community. That is not my personal opinion, it is what EA wrote and supplied with every game, expansion and addon pack for the sims 2. TSR charge a susbscription of around $50 USD, so in regards to defamation, its like a drug baron suing Mr. Joe Public for calling him a pot head.
‘EarthGoddess Lets Anita Have It’
The MODS at TSR made themselves crystal clear on their feelings towards Atwa all the way back in April, so we have to question what Toms motives are for allowing her still to dictate how TSR is ran by employing her in administration for TSR and working the up coming V7. It is also amusing that she describes one of her many duties as ’site relations’ and ‘HL’s right hand woman. HL is her nickname for Tom, meaning ‘His Lordship’ She claims that Tom runs the site in name only, possibly a great exaggeration on her part, as all she seems to do all day is stalk her former friends, and the people over at PMBD, GOS and Sims Cave, as well as finding the time to make false reports to Live Journal.
On to Todays thread, from last April, entitled ‘EarthGoddess Lets Anita Have It’.
