Once again, here is the author of Animator vs. Animation.

I did not accept the $1000. eBaum made it look that way when I won the contest. I'm pretty sure that they made me win that contest.

I am sending back the check for $250.

Once again, eBaum's World pressured me into writing a false statement to protect them.

I am only 17. eBaum made a contract through AIM to use my animation without my parents' knowing. As far as I know that's illegal.
I haven't dropped out of the fight. I am back in.

Keep fighting the good fight, I'm sure a lot of people are ready to support you financially if it means bringing that site down.

I honestly dont trust their contest, some random person could submit my stuff and make money off of it while "surrendering the rights" to ebaum despite the fact they had no rights to it in the first place.

Hope it turns out well but we cant know for sure. He has the power of money.

I think turning down the check is a very noble action. If you were to just walk away right now, with no money, I would have upmost respect for you. Accepting that check would just show that eBaums is rich and powerful enough to do whatever they please.

Keep fighting the good fight for a better internet.

I congratulate you. You did an honorable thing not giving in to a sleazy bussinessman like Eric Bauman.

Thus, I give you more congratulations.

Do yourself a favor and don't do any more flip floping. It won't look good in court. And cease all contact with ebaum.

I think Bauman better quit it, letting shit slip.

Or he'll be leaving with a fat lip. :D

Alan, you really shouldn't listen to what anyone's telling you to do. Do what YOU want to do--and if that's taking as much money as the man offers, or taking him to court, then so be it. Good luck with whatever your choice may be.

Don't forget Alan, the check was made out to your father, so if you planned on cashing it, he would have to know right?

Also, how did eBaum's pressure you? Don't they have to comply with your wishes? They are a company and can be held responsible for thier actions, so if you had asked them not to post it they wouldn't have. Instead, you created a special custom version for them and made a deal and accepted payment.

eBaum's has also promised to take down the animation once their payment was returned. So whats all the fuss about?

He has a quote though saying you admit he has bought the flash off you for £250 and there's no probelms. It doesn't need to be a legal contract for that quote to be valid. I think you would've had quite a high chance of winning the case had you not've taken the bribe, i think ebaum knew that as well. Thats why he gave ou money. But i think its too late npw. He's got his quote and thats all he needs.

I think you should take the $1000 while you still can.

You do realize that because of all this comotion, thousands of additional people have taken the time to see Animator v. Animation?

He hasn't hurt you in any way besides making you well-known (correct me if I'm wrong). I say just take the money and drop it.
