Garden of Shadows is down, but not out.

I thought I'd do my part to spread the word to anyone who might be wondering about Garden of Shadows, and why it's not working. It seems TSR made a legal complaint to GoS's web host about them redistributing their supposedly "copyrighted content." There are more details here on nymphynymms journal. (ETA: And also on Jenfold's dreamwidth journal.)

Thank you to simgaroop for bringing this to my attention. I'm a big fan of Garden of Shadows, even though I mostly lurk. They continue to create quality content for Sims 2, even though most other cc sites gave up the ghost a long time ago. I was thoroughly enjoying the Earth Day monthly theme, and I'm saddened that this messes with their next monthly theme right around that exciting time when the new theme is decided and announced (which theme won? Does anyone know? I was just going to go check). Way to ruin everyone's fun, TSR. Bunch of dicks.

This is just insane. I mean TSR is know for haveing other simmer take credit for other works. The fact that they descided that they are god on this ruling is totaly bonkers. On top of that isn't most of that content making it to TSR after it has already been floating around TSR. The copyright is to the creator not the site. They hold no leagal grounding when the content was not created by members of there site. ( I had to do resaerch I few years ago on copyright material and I know for a fact that all media regarded as written, draw, or over all created with the use of art stuff.) That being said TSR should be sue for forgery on the above grounds.
