So, a lot of you know about the site Catcorp, and I bet a lot of you use her downloads as well. Recently, Catcorp has been giving herself a bit of a bad name. After the whole fiasco with Amanda and Catcorp accusing her of stealing her mesh, Catcorp sort of became silent. But just a few days ago, she completely raised the bar. I'm sure a lot of us are familiar with SunsetSims, a site that uploads paysite content for free. Recently, some of Catcorp's downloads showed up on this site, and Catcorp got pretty angry. Catcorp decided that she was going to restrict her downloads to all Spanish people, because apparently being Spanish means you're a thief. Not only that, but she posted the personal information of one of the people that paid for her content. This personal information includes the full name and address. Obviously, this kind of racism and revealing of personal information is unacceptable. Because of this, we are encouraging you to not donate to Catcorp. Period. We would also encourage you not to pay use her content, and if you absolutely must use something from Catcorp, we would encourage you to download it from another source. If you would like to see more information on this specific instance, here's all of the proof. In short, we would encourage you not to support Catcorp, because we like her about as much as Grumpy Cat likes his Halloween costume.

I'm just sad her name is "CatCorp." Cats do not deserve such treatment.
Also, just a warning about flames and ranting about her. Please don't. I highly discourage the effort to put your outrage into words. Especially publically.
Yes, it is appalling that she did this. Yes, it is illegal. However, if she continues, she is very well set on the path to destroy herself. No need for us to help her along.

[OOC]I met a lot of wonderful people in the sims community and its always heartbreaking to see such things happen. It happened too often! The community already lost too many really talented and lovely member because they couldn't bear the hate anymore. Seriously, i don't get why someone would be hateful and false and don't care about the damage it causes. We are all playing the same game, please, can't we just get along, have fun, share our fun and double it that way? ~annyway

Isn't she using blogspot (google)? If so, then Google should take action.

OMG how rude of her. If she doesn't want her creations uploaded for free, why upload them at all? It's going to happen anyway, you don't see EA going and suing everyone and accusing them for uploading their content for free.
It's really sad that she's been like that though. And the fact she wants people to pay for her content. Just had a look at her site and some of the content is so lovely, and she has already made a racing mask! But feels the need to make people pay for it. Simply pointless.

Milla, There is no need to double or triple post Just edit your first post with new thoughts or ideas unless somebody has posted after you already. I think that CatCorp just needs to be shut down as a whole. She's rude and insensitive. Also, I just saw today that although Google deleted the post with the full IP, name, email, and home address of that person... She put the same information up on her forum.

Well any person who knows how to find facts should know CATcorp claiming Amanda stole her mesh is pure bull... *sigh* I know it's stupid but in a way I feel responsible for the whole thing, since I was the one who asked for a running braid mane.

Lianne, you really shouldn't feel guilty! We got a wonderful mane because you asked.
I think both, Amanda and Catcorp saw that request and both started working on it - with different results. Since Amanda posted wip-pictures everyone can clearly see there was no stealing at all.
But if you don't want to see facts and you are a bitter person in general you don't care and blame others anyways. Its so poor.
Publishing personal information about a donator is a real NO-GO! Hopefully every single person that donated to Catcorp reads what she did there and stops donating.
