I would also throw a couple of dollars at that. He's a sick little man. Time to drop him like a bad habit.

I'll donate all my money if I had a creditcard for a paypal acount, but I don't have one.

I've got about 2,20 in Euros.

But wbat will you complain about if Ebaums is shut down?

XD

More, the thievery is coming to chomp his ass off, and steal his wallet.

I hate eBaum.

Not protecting anyone here but i dont see why people say all his stuff is stolen because half the animations there were in fact submitted by the original author, because i would submit my work there because he gets millions of hits a day regardless if newgrounds hates him. So the author would sue because Eric made his movie more noticeable and more popular? Also wouldnt the copyright only work if someone had taken it and claimed it as there own? This is the internet, his codes means nothing because everything is stolen on the internet. Every time we type a letter someone else had that on there site before so does that mean typing is stolen.

I dont think theres a case here at all, and instead of sending money which wont help at all to the animator is just making someone rich with a lost cause. Ebaums will not shut down over something thats nothing.

Really i smell a get rich quick scheme. How do we know hes not saying just send me money just to earn lots of free money? I'm not saying its true but how do we know ABS and Alan arent trying to get easy money and this was all one big plan?

Just my thoughts and opinions because i dont like ebaums as much as the other actve newgrounds user. Just think about the situation before you send money which could be a scam.

Ebaums is just the easiest prime target in a scam that could be. We dont know.

EBauman sucks!

I don't think most authors really care about the publicity of their flash, I think they care more about how their flash is enjoyed, and more about them getting the credit for it.

Only good thing that has come out of ebaumsworlddotcom is the movie made about eric bauman ^^

That's exactly what happened.

You don't understand Copyright laws, do you?

really i went and saw it on ebaums....it gives full credit to Alan.......hmmmm

Burn baby burn, disco inferno. I'd love to see eBaumsWorld finally take a hit or fall, it's about time someone took some legal action at them. It was obviously that eventually they'd slip up and make an obvious copyright infringement.

I understand what you're saying, but alot of people don't like the fact that Bauman makes money off a site of stolen flash.
Go here so i don't have to type a whole lot.

O_O

Okay. Still, it's not legal for Eric Bauman to put the flash on his site without Alan's permission. I guess I assumed that eBaumsWorld took credit for it, because they've been known to put eBaumsWorld watermarks on images and videos that aren't even owned by eBaumsWorld.

Whatever. I'd be pissed if someone took something I made without permission, even if they did leave my name on it. You don't really have to pretend something's yours to steal it.

I will be sure to keep an eye out for anything that you make that's quality and rebrand it and steal it. I will open it and tweak it as needed and then give you a tiny text link somewhere on the page.

The big point about this is it is about theft. It would be the same thing if I harvested articles from other magazines, put all the good ones into my own magazine, and gave it away and then said all my money was coming from advertisers and not from the articles.

So, this case can bring us to a cross roads, which is very important. It will either lay down rules for the rights of small copyright holders from assholes.

OR

It will say that theft is okay, and the internet will legally become a free for all as we now have a US court saying we can steal other people's shit and just play dumb about it.

Win win situation, Either eBaum's gets shut down, or we can go back to having massive mp3 and media servers operating in the US again without fear of legal ramifications as long as they say "Oh, we thought Britney Spears submitted that crap to us herself" every week, and we don't make money off of the songs, we make it off of advertising, which is okay (see case Alan v eBaum).

Hmmmm...... That would be hilarious.

But of course, I would like Bauman a whole lot better than I do right now, if he respected the fact that some people, don't want their flash on his site. If you said "Hey Bob, don't host my new flash on your page." and he did it anyway, you'd probably be pissed. Or, if some random fuck gallops along and pastes your flash on his web, then you'd probably be all "WTF!?!" because you only want your flash on the sites you submitted it to, or let borrow.

Ebaum is smart. He steals the flash without permission and then gives credit to the author who made it. Then everybody goes on his site and thinks it was there first.

That's exactly why this lawsuit is important. Even if Bauman doesn't lose any money, it will still bring attention to the fact that eBaumsWorld is far from original, and a lot of their content is posted without any real permission from the author.
