Now many of you know of eBaumsworld. It's linked to occasionally on some threads here. The trouble is that they steal content from other sites, rarely, if not at all, give credit where credit is due, and make loads of money from the many ads on their site, and is now getting a TV show on USA showcasing the "original content" of the site. Now even I have linked to or posted stuff from eBaums, but this of course was before I found the truth. So I'm calling out that whenever we post some funny video material that we not post it from eBaums. The below site tells of Eric Bauman's practices and lists some of the content stolen from the creators of the stolen material themselves.

Some of you may have heard of what happened between eBaumsworld and YTMND in which eBaum stole content from this page(which has had the image since watermarked on all corners by the creator to prevent any further theft and perhaps satirize eBaum's practice of Watermarking everything): http://lohanfacial.ytmnd.com/
In response, disgruntled members of YTMND rallied members of other sites(which also had some opposition to eBaum), leading to hacking of the site, bringing down their forums. Neil Bauman(Eric's father and vice president of eBaums) instantly labeled the entirity of YTMND as cyberterrorists even though the webmaster(Max Goldberg) went out of his way to delete many of the sites documenting the actual hacking. Neil Bauman's Cease and Desist emails and Max's reply can be found here: http://www.ytmnd.com/news/?news_id=17 with a reading of Neil Bauman's emails here: http://baumanletters.ytmnd.com/
So lets do our part in making the internet a better place by ignoring eBaumsworld, considering Eric's practices, maybe using www.youtube.com as an alternative to funny streaming videos and Newgrounds for flash.
