Also the way the game saves is an issue. Like I have added some things to lots I downloaded and then saved to my library - and when I do that it instantly lists it in my library as created by me with the original creator list above me. Then if i take and put my library stuff on the gallery - like the time I replaced my hard drive so I could get back all my houses - there I was listed as the creator. Granted after I redownloaded I went around and deleted all the ones on the gallery I could find - but during the few days they were there some were downloaded and of course there was nothing I could do about that.
Of course since that happened a while ago - I have since gotten an external drive now to back up my stuff - so it is no longer and issue - but not everyone has other places to back up to - and I am sure many do just what I did to try and save all they had done with the sims and the lots.
Sometimes it is not the players fault, if the game considers when you change a download to be yours, and eventually the original creator info some how gets lost. I am sure many innocent souls are being unfairly accused when all they were doing was saving all they had done for what ever the reason. It's also why I would never accuse someone of stealing something that has no other use but in this game and is actually EA's property no matter what we do to it or how long we work on it. Even as creators it is never our property to start with anyway.
When I do put my own content on the gallery - I don't police it. I put it there to share it, otherwise what is the point? When you put stuff on the gallery - it becomes EA's property period - technically.
