Lets say for example, I make a new level for Generals using the tools distributed by the developers, and upload that map to the internet. In a fair comparison, EA would be able to remove my map from the internet or anyplace I am able to freely distribute it, and sell it as downloadable content, without giving any credit to myself. I'll reiterate that I don't think this worst case will happen, but from the contractual agreement we now have with Sony, it's legally possible. Bob, I don’t think your PC comparison is accurate.

This has been going on for years in PC games. You use the assets of a company (so it's not your own material) to create something. Of course said company reserves the right to do with it as it pleases. Why is this a big deal? This has been going on for years in PC games.
