I, after reading this, get your point 110% BUT still I get the point of those that call such choices as 'stealing'... A two sided "argument" each with valid points. Personally, I try to only share Randomly Spawned sims in my game and/or sims I create and never share someone else's work or EAs (aside from Jasmin Holiday) in fear of being a thief...
However, on the other hand... Lets say there is a simmer with the User name Eureka, they share A_SIM, that sim gains a like/favorite count and download count but IF we download that sim and re-share it, we are taking from this Eureka simmer's count; and while off hand doesn't seem like a big deal; I think people take great pride in those numbers as I would/ do...
