Hello, I thought maybe it's an idea to create a topic about websites, blogs or youtube channels you find that are claiming Custom Content to be theirs and not linking back to the original upload site and naming the original content maker. I came up with this idea because I recently found 1 youtube channel and just a hour ago 1 blogspot that did this with content that came from modthesims, from different people including myself. It was about this youtubechannel: Kids WorldWhat to do about it: If you find something on youtube that you know is not theirs and there is nog sign of mentioning the original content maker and the download leads to a place other then to the original upload, you can read this google/youtube page: support.google.com/youtube/answer/6005900 and email youtube on this email adress: copyright@youtube.com As for Kids World, already one video is removed because of a report someone did, and I expect that my own video will be removed too. I have send an email today. Now today I found this blog: totallysims4updates.blogspot.nl/On this blog you will find lots and lots of content made by other people but uploaded to adfly. Again nothing is mentioned about the original content maker. I have made a topic about this on Modthesims, asking for advise, but maybe someone here also knows how to handle this. Now if you find some website,blog or youtube channel yourself that's "stealing content" please report in this topic. And let's find out what we can do about this toghether.

As I'm not a big fan of sending personal information to google, I send an email/report abuse to adf.ly explaining the situation. Downside on this is that probably only my own adf.ly links that I found on the website will be deleted.. EDIT: Found out she has her own webite too with her email adres. So I emailed her too.

It's good to see you taking action on it Bakie. I hope the person just responds and does the right thing now that you have objected.

Small update. I got an email back from adfl.ly:
So same as sending a report to blogger/google I think. I'm not going to do that. First of all because english is not my first language so I don't know exactly how to do all those things. Just hope the girl from the website/blog will respond. And then just see what happens.
Still waiting on a reply from youtube about the video with my Unlocked Lawn Parts. But I send a mail saturday, so I think today they will probably read it and then maybe tomorrow I know more.

Every comment on that video is letting this "kids world" person know that WE KNOW it was stolen from you! I even left a comment on it! Just wish people would try to make their own creations and not take the credit for others hard work! It is very childish! BTW...I was soooooo happy you unlocked the Lawn Parts! I have them in my game and they are beautiful! Thank you Bakie ♥

@13pumkin I think he read your comment too, just checked the video and he disabled comments on this video! So he knows he's doing things wrong possibly.. I don't like this person..at all! Ow and thank you for your kind words about my Unlocked Lawn Parts! There is going to be a video on my youtube channel soon showing you more great ways to use these. I will put a link to it on this forum in the content section when it's ready! I got an email back from youtube that I didn't mentioned my full name with the report. I only used my First letter from my first name and then my full last name. But that's no good signature. So I have to send it again with my full name. But I'm a bit scared reporting things for some reason. Afraid of sending a wrong email or something so I asked the person on Modthesims that did get his video deleted for help with the email. So more info about that soon. About the blog with adf.ly links. The person responced on her website with: So I'm very happy about this. She didn't send me an email back, but I'm going to send her another email for thanking her about her plans to change things in future. I hope she will change all her other links too, but maybe she's already doing this. It will be a lot of work to change everything. Now the only thing I hope is that the youtube thing will be solved. If somebody sometimes find out there are more blogs/youtube channels not mentioning creator names and not linking back to the original download, please report in this thread so we can solve our problems toghether. EDIT: Just messaged Kids World on youtube. Saying there is already one video, from another creator who reported him, deleted and that I'm afraid that if he don't delete the other 5 Sims 4 video himself, that because of more reports his whole channel will be removed. Curious, if he's going to take action now. It would be al lot more easy this way than having to report him to youtube. And better for his own channel of course

Small Update on the totallysims4updates.blogspot.nl: Got a email back from the girl from this blog and she's also changing all excisting links, so no adf.ly will remain. Only because the fact she has over 100 links, it will take a while before every adf.ly link is removed. But I think this case is closed now. And about the youtube report. The person who get his video deleted posted his own mail, so it could help other people who have the same problem. This is a copy of his email to copyright@youtube.com : The second copy of the FULL NAME is important as that's the "digital signature" of the email

Everyone has a personal opinion, mostly negative - understandably' to a point, on this subject. These people are Trolls who have no clue at what goes into modding; treat them as such. Attention is what fuels their Trolling Ego. Myself, personally - I never look, or care. If it happens and awakens someone's interest in Modding - Mission complete, through a Troll. You can disagree and I understand. My take on Life is Time, Time is what Life boils down to, don't waste it on Trolls.
