    EA is shutting down madden ebook websites aka cheeser websites

    If you're a sim gamer you might take pleasure in the fact that ea and prima guides is shutting down websites that teach others how to exploit madden's programming. Prima guides paid a lot of money to be the official guide for madden and ncaa so it makes sense they are shutting down websites that didn't fork over the money that prima guides did. Not all madden glitch websites have been shutdown yet. But as they "hunt down" the many madden ebook websites they will begin to disappear. These websites cannot use anything, not the players, stadiums, nfl logo, names, nothing. So if you hate the glitchers who teach others how to pull off glitches such as the old madden 11 qb spy glitch or how to disconnect people then now's your time to get the last laugh. R.I.P. madden ebook websites.

      I think Prima hired guys who have exploited the game in the past. Also check the prices Prima is charging for the guides. They are ridiculous. A lot of sim sites are being shut down as well because Prima wants that market too. This is no time to celebrate.... Plus most the stuff you mention is all over youtube as well as google.

          The sites were shut down essentially because they are charging to give out game tips and strategies/exploits. Prima is the Official Strategy site of Madden NFL 12 and anyone else providing that service without permission is breaking the law.

              But thats what they are doing! They are taking images/content/etc. thats been licened by EA and the NFL and using those. They are charging people to use those making miney off the all the things that EA and the NFL has copy righted.

              These sites would have to have permission(pay) for the rights to use EAs/NFLs content in the game to make a profit.

              side note: I had a guy use some cheese play(NCAA) that kept the defensive backfield from playing the runner because it was HB pass play. He was just able to run all over while the defenders sat back playing the pass. When I said it was BS, he tried to teach me the play but I refused. He really couldnt grasp the concept that I didnt want to cheat to win a game. lol.

                No they don't have the rights to use any images for profit. It's an intellectual property.

                  Honestly.....this should have happened many years ago. Companies pay thousands of dollars for usage rights. I would be ticked off too if I seen a website profiting off my license.

                    They might shut down a lot of them, but I can't see everyone getting shut down. If anything people will still post glitches on youtube.

                          Its not a monoploy. Seems you should look up what a monopoly is as it doesnt apply to this at all.

                          Going after someone for profiting off what you own the rights to is not.

                            Youtube videos are fine.

                            If I understand this correctly, then they are and can only go after websites that charge for their service. Which I can understand the illegality of that.

                            But if you just make a youtube where you show a tip, then that is fine because you wont directly make any money from it. (No, you don't get money for more views... oh South Park...)
