As certain older sims are being distributed openly on the forum. Can they just be put back in the uploads and downloads section.

And out of interest would this mean that sims that where released at previous meets (I know Sheffield (scrolly) was given out at a meet not sure which one) can be distributed to people who don't have it if someone who had it from the meet hosted it publicly?

There are T&Cs which need to be agreed to when downloading a Sim there is a section on redistribution.
SimSig can't warranty the provenance of any Sim that is not directly downloaded from this site.

The reason SwinDid was withdrawn, as I recall, was because it was significantly buggy prompting quite a few complaints.

Quite often Sims used at meetings are Beta versions still undergoing test hence they are often not more widely available after the meeting.

Well as someone seems to be redistributing SwinDid and hasn't been banned from the forum or ended up in court can I assume that it is ok to redistribute both types of sims I have mentioned as long as you stick to the redistribution terms?

I'll take that as a yes but we don't want to formally endorse it then?

No it's not a YES it's a response to your "assumption".

Since this redistribution has only just come to our attention it's a bit early to have an official line never mind the court injunctions you allude to.

Peter the court hearing was meant in jest.

I was just interested in an official line ( A definite either way), I couldn't really care less either way.

I was being slightly tongue in cheek myself.
I've set the ball rolling on a line to take.
