Carla Niven vs. Rat Productions

[BlueSoup]

Carla Niven's site seems to have gotten slightly better in the last couple of days.

Wanna know why?

Because s/h/it has stolen the work of Rat Productions, a free clothing site in the community.

If you check out Rat Productions' website, go to Female >>Swimwear.  It's the first pic of the first page.  Seen it?  Good.

Now go to Carla Niven's website.  See the blown-up outfit on the right?

Well, even if s/h/it didn't steal it directly from Rat Productions, it's still the same damn thing.  And why would anyone pay for something they can get for free (which is basically our fucking motto here).

I think shit is an appropriate name for her and her stuff. She is a piece of thieving shit.

Someone should point that out to Rat Productions.

[Solowren]

NOW it makes sense. :roll:

When this happens I often wonder if both creators simply used the same source photo unwitingly

[Doursim]

Stand back, I'm going to defend Carlew :shock:

I can't get either of those pages to load for me..  But I have seen outfits on other sites that used the same source images as me.  Just Sims 2 has 2 outfits that are identical to things on my site.  I didn't steal it from them and I highly doubt they stole it from me.  Or even know my site exists for that matter.  

I think I also saw one of my sources at Holy Simoly.  But it was on a different mesh, they had saturated the color, and almost nothing was similar except I recognized the dress.  But I didn't steal the dress from them and I know they didn't steal it from me.  It could be Carlew is so far in its own world that it doesn't visit other sites often enough to know that that outfit had already been made.

That said:  Yes, why on earth would you offer something for $2 when someone could go to a much more popular site and get it for free.  The answer:  
1.  you are crazy.
2.  you didn't know.

I'm inclined to believe a mixture of both.

****************

I'm going to repeal that statement.  I think this IS stolen.
I am looking at the images and if you look at the tie behind the neck, they are identical.  I don't care how careful you are... that is uncanny and impossible.   I am looking for anything that is different but even the shoes are identical.

I couldn't agree more. It was the same dang simwear. Identical... :S

[fourohfourerror]

I wonder if she also taking from other sites?  And thanks for the link to Rat Productions, I've never seen that site and it's pretty cool.

edit because I realize that most of her stuff still sucks.

[Doursim]

I sent a letter to Rat Productions.

[icedwhitemocha]

Oh, God, she's taking marketing lessons from Peg(g)y.  "48 Hour Super Sale! 1 Month Membership for only $6.99!"  7 bucks?!!!!!!!111one  Holy shit, let me get my wallet!  
And web design lessons, too... ARGH rainbow-colored blinky text! :evil:
Oh, yeah, and also thieving-bitch lessons.

EDIT to thank BlueSoup for the link... looking at the winter outfits and WOW they're pretty... and I am EXTREMELY picky about skins.

[PirateOfMashedPotatoes]

That's just . . . odd.  Wow.  And what a deal, er, steal too!  Only $6.99 to get an outfit I can get free elsewhere.  Did I mention that's just odd?

[Diamond_bollocks]

What a mole. Rat Productions was my favourite site back in the day/

[torque]

What else is new?

[madcreator]

Can't believe how stupid Carla must be. That is so obvious. Couldn't it at least try recolor and cover most of the evidence that it's stolen?!

[Anouk]

Bastard.

[ScreamMyName]

I watched at those pictures for a few minutes, really really slosely and I cant even see ONE shit difference between those outfits (rubbish btw)...
Carla Niven must DIE, DIE , DIE!
