Anti-Ebaum Script v1.0

[craze3]

My new game, Ball Fall (http://newgrounds.com/portal/view/278430)
, has an anti-ebaum script in it and alot of people wanted it.
Well here's what I've been using. Just stick the code on the first frame of your game or movie.

stop();
//Block Right Clicking
Stage.showMenu= false;
this_url = _root._url;
// list of blocked urls.
bad_urls = new Array("www.ebaumsworld.com", "ebaumsworld.com");
// Take out the http://, and get the domain
this_url = this_url.substr(7, this_url.length);
this_url = this_url.substr(0, this_url.indexOf("/"));
var found_bad_url = false;
//Check to see if the URL is one of the bad ones
for (var i = 0; i<bad_urls.length; i++) {
if (this_url == bad_urls[i]) {
found_bad_url = true;
break;
}
}
//Change the frame if the url is the bad url
if (found_bad_url == true) {
gotoAndStop("bad");
}

Then make a frame with what you want it to show if its hosted on ebaums world (maybe goatse?) and call the frame "bad". That's it!

just as simple?

stop();
Stage.showMenu= false;
this_url = _root._url;
bad_urls = new Array("ebaum", "ebaumsworld");
for (var i = 0; i<bad_urls.length; i++) {
if (this_url.indexOf(bad_urls[i])!=-1) {
gotoAndStop("bad");
}
}

it can be shorter than that :/

I'd wager that the cunt stores them at a secret location and loads them into pages to avoid safety measures like this. Only one way to find out though...

[Fraggles]

How does that eBaum guy steal those things onto his site anyway?

http://media.ebaumsworld.com/
that is the location where the swfs are stored on ebaums server...
my version of the code will check for that. the one by the topic starter will not...

What's the point?
He decompiles them anyway.

you can encrypt your flash to prevent decompilation.
in our modern age, everyone should be doing this anyways...

[craze3]

post your revisions then.

most of the time decompiling DOES NOT WORK, and will often require alot of re-coding to get it to work

this_url = _root._url;
// list of blocked urls.
bad_urls = new Array("www.ebaumsworld.com", "ebaumsworld.com", "media.ebaumsworld.com");

this_url = this_url.substr(7, this_url.length);

Here's a newer version that blocks the media.ebaumsworld.com,

What do you mean "decompile?"

When you view something it automatically gets downloaded into your "cache"(temporarily), ebaum takes it from his cache and uploads in on his site!
it makes people sad T__T

in case that isnt the only server he uses, my script checks for the word "ebaum" or "ebaumsworld" anywhere in the URL. thats the best way to do it...

...yes, i know that other domain names could have a folder named "ebaum" for some reason, and that this would block it, but they should reconsider naming their folders after sites that pirate media. ^_^

[RubberNinja]

You might want to add www.muchosucko.com and www.gotorion.com .. They're just as bad when it comes to stealing.

It's as if they rip apart the flash, take out all the coding they dont like (the ebaum protection), and put it on their site without the ebaum-blocker.
But you can decompile flashes to find out what codes they used..how they did stuff..and view images and movie clips from the flash.

To convert *.swf into a *.fla.
And then eBaum can edit it all he wants

Your such a n00b.

[Fraggles]

Ebaum is such a jackass.

[Ashmere]

Damn that is cool,

but you sure itll work?

You can alway just upload your game to his server and see if it works?

[WoogieNoogie]

Or you can just shove your ads into your flash so he has to give you credit. That works alot easier.

sometimes, its better to just join them than fight them. i mean, if you self-credit, why do you really need to protect it. let them have it, if it means more publicity for you.

[soad]

yeah but for people like the weebl and bob creator he has to make a living making flash and that site is stealing his traffic and fully copyrighted content. Ebaums is probably just a fat man lving in his mums basement with spiderman comics and a blow up girl friend

[Mistasmijen]

Your code encryption for ebaums world will do nothing. Theres a program you can buy for a Mesely 70 dollars and it can transfer 98% of ALL SWF.s into FLA.s (protected or not)

[WoogieNoogie]

If there is something actually copyrighted by the US Government on eBaumsworld.com, and the creator complains about it, a lawsuit will ensue. That is different than someone saying on their flash "Copyrighted 2005 by (insert name here)" and they don't actually have the copyright.

I'm not saying it's okay to get flashes without crediting the author, but unless you have an actual copyright, complaining isn't going to stop it. The only logical solution I can think of is putting a link to your site in your flash.

it will for games. apparently youve not seen kirupa's write up of ameyeta's software, and its encryption abilities are impressive. youd still be able to take the images and the music, but to a programmer, these are of little concern. what a programmer wants to protect it the hardcode, and this software will mangle it into something like:

// Action script...

// [Action in Frame 1]
var \x1 = 430;
while (\x1 == 430)
{

\x1 = \x1 + 250;
break;

} // end while
if (\x1 == 680)
{

\x1 = \x1 - 406;

}
else
{

} // end if

Actually, the creator is automaticly the copyright holder as long as het has proof that he was the person to have made it.

[CROSS-POSTED BY ME]

from the copyright office itself:

When does copyright "happen"?
Copyright protection exists from the time the work is created in a fixed, tangible form of expression. The copyright in the work of authorship immediately becomes the property of the author who created the work. Only the author, or those deriving their rights through the author, can rightfully claim copyright. In the case of works made for hire the employer, not the writer, is considered to be the author.

I stand corrected. Carry on with your anti-ebaum scripts.

[tehNGpro]

Aww, come on. eBaum's World is a great site, you can't deny that. You're just jealous eBaum's is just so much better than Newgrounds...

please don't flame me im a n00b
