Anybody know if theres a free online version of the sims?

unfortunatley kdsmm is 100% right downloading a free version of any copyrighted game is illegal and fines and consequences of software are incredibly large. downloading something that you didnt pay is effectivley stealing the software. I know many who downloaded bootleg versions and beta copies before it was released which are also illegal if not released commercialy. people these days use torrents to download and distribute games across the internet. you can download the sims 3 offically from EA website and pay for it electronically ( credit card). but in all honesty online downloads of major distributable games can lead to a lot of bad things because most of these files are made by hackers leechers or other shifty net characters lol im just saying online downloads of free games are not as reliable as buying an offical copy from your local store where you have warranty and other things in case something goes wrong. I would rather know I could take it back if it was damaged or didnt work than download it and it failed or the file was corrupt and my computer had a lot of viruses as a result. Plus no one wants a huge fine for copyright infrigement.
