Cara needs your help. We have been scraped a third time. This is now a targeted attack meant to cause artists pain. Scrapers know we're a volunteer project with no financial means to respond. So they say it's legal, believing themselves untouchable. We're taking action. I believe artists who want to share their work with the world should get to do so without people violating their consent. I won’t be forced into making Cara members-only because some people think "consent isn't always valid". You don't blame victims after harming them. These scrapers feel safe because they know we’re small team of volunteers, that we have no way of affording help. So I’m asking our community, will you come together? Please help us take legal action. Other platforms may not care because artists are easy targets to bully. No one really stands with us. But I care because it is my home, our home. I won’t let them trample over the hearts of everyone. Our team may be small, but we want to defend Cara. I have a lot on my plate and my body is falling apart from all I've taken on these past years. But I always think, when we're alive, we should do what's right. People who think they can harm others because it's "legal" shouldn't get away with it. I refuse to give up. I don’t want this to become encouragement for open season on artists, just because we seem powerless. So I want to take legal action and find out just what we can or cannot do. I want to know what I need to do next, to make this twisted world change. To hold people accountable. If you can, please consider donating whether it's $1, $10, or $50 to our legal fund. This will help us seek counsel for legal options for both Cara and its artists, and in carrying out necessary legal actions. Please help us stop scrapers from targeting artists. https://gofundme.com/f/help-cara-legal-fund *Saw some people saying that I'm not doing enough. Just to clarify, we are doing all we can and a bit more than that. There are things happening in background that I often cannot share, whether it's security related work (invites abuse), new measures (invites attacks), or legal (can't talk about any of it period). Thank you all for understanding and being so supportive and helpful to one another. We're going to do this.
