Free Stuff by Dr No

I was wandering about on the web - and I found a cool promotion to get free Sims stuff with Dr Pepper codes. Well yay I thought - I like sims, I like Dr Pepper - lemme at it.

What do I find? The promotion is not available in my country - so I can't get the items....(unless I dl from MATY) is this fair? Is this right? Are MATY justified in sharing these files for free? Or is it still illegal to share them as I guess these items are owned by Dr Pepper?

I think it's not fair for us to be left out, simply because we're not in the US of A. And let's face it: according to EA's EULA, only THEY may SELL objects in the package format. So everything that's NOT released by them, SHOULD be free for all! At least, that's my interpretation...

Technically Dr. Pepper isn't making you pay, you just have to use the little points thingies that come with coca-cola bottle tops. Therefore in my eyes it's a free item...

It's kinda like going to an arcade or a carnival and playing games to get a lot of tickets. When you redeem the tickets for your prizes, at the end of the day....it's just another crappy trinket you'll forget bout in a week. So I think MATY is awesome from saving us the hassle of having to collect points for a silly sims game item.

Yeah, they have this thing saying no purchase necessary (Dr Pepper that is, not MATY) -BUT- to get a code you have to send a stamped address envelope (which costs more than the soda and you don't even get a soda) - unless you live in Vermont....Is postage free in Vermont or something?
