In early CAS demos and promos, it looked like the original creator of a household uploaded to the Gallery would show up if someone downloaded it, modified it, and uploaded it back onto the Gallery. Here's a link to a screenshot from the E3 presentation showing how this seemed to be intended to work - note "Creator: SimGuruRyan, Modified by: Sir Frogster":

But today someone who had commented on one of my uploads then uploaded another household that clearly has my original creation in it (the Sim does have one different trait, and there's another member of the household). You would expect resemblances between people's Sim versions of the same real life character/person, but these are clearly absolutely identical.
I'm guessing this person assumed, as I would have, that I would get credit for the original creation of this Sim, and it was an honest mistake. But if all it takes for it to look like you made the Sim is to change it a little bit, what's the point of the original "creator" and "modified by" system? I worked really hard on that Sim, and don't like not getting the credit for it.
My sim:

The sim uploaded today by someone else:
What will be the actual system for protecting people's creations? Is it just not operating in the demo?
ETA: In case it's useful, the person did acknowledge that they had downloaded and then re-uploaded the Sim, so it's a genuine case of missing Creator cred.
@Cogitotoro I've merged this with the bug thread. I'll add it to the first page later. There does seem to be some mechanism in place but as you say, doesn't work properly.
@crinrict i'm going to try something in the demo with one of your sims and see if it can be figured out how/why/ will edit this post
edit to add so far i haven't reproduced the issue but there is a flip side to it too i downloaded your sims and added to my sims i was working on in CAS tried some various things to see if the issue could be reproduced the flip side was i eventually deleted your sims in the CAS and kept mine to work on her to finish her off before uploading and now it states By crinrict,by you
(the sims in red) where one's i was creating on Saturday the 19th and had in the CAS to finish off ) strike that i may have reproduced something i just saved the girl i was working on then added your sims from my library to my CAS sim and saved it now says By you (me) as you can see in the 3rd image mine and your sims and now seen as created by me I've spent quite some time in the CAS about an hour, the bug ?? is reproducible it does flip back to created by-modified by
edit to add image 4 as i said earlier it does flip back and forth was trying again to reproduce and it has flipped back to me...off to delete some sims in my libiary now
