Its means that ALL players have the right to download, modify and upload ANYTHING that is shared in the Gallery.
It does not mean that EA will protect any player whom initially uploads web images (in the form of art) or poses used on Sims.
No player can claim EXCLUSIVE rights to anything they upload. That is the purpose of sharing to the Gallery. If a player uploads something, claims it and trys to tell another player what to do with it, it will be a big 'ol mess of fighting. That's not EA's intention.
TOS does say if you bring 3rd party content (web images or poses) you have to list the 3rd party. And once its uploaded, it becomes User Generated Content (USG) to be used by any player in any way in order to play the game.
This 'claiming ownership" or 'exclusive rights' is what is ruining the game.
That's my opinion, from reading the TOS myself and with talking to EA Moderators at EA Help.com.
I think the TOS is not 'open to inturpretation' and players should accept that and stop searching for someone to support their selfish views. Because there are currently groups that attack, insult, harass and ruin a players reputation because of what is being posted.
There is no reuploading. There is no stealing. There is sharing. Got it? THAT is what the Gallery is about. Sharing.
And my comments are my opinion which are not meant for anything else but an opinion.
