As I said before, and I said again. If you are currently attacking eBaum, or are planning to attack eBaum, don't, I repeat, DON'T DO IT IN THE NAME OF YTMND. You're a bunch of Lone Gunmen, realize this, we don't want YTMND and max to suffer the consequences of other people's actions.

In the end, if you are going to do something stupid, don't mention YTMND. I don't want to see YTMND destroyed.

Honestly, now's the time to stop. Any way you look at it, YTMND "won," so don't push it. If you wanted his site to be disrupted, it was. If you wanted to harass him personally for some reason, well, he "had to hire security," so mission accomplished. Not saying he didn't deserve it, and not saying he doesn't deserve to be f*cked with because he's a piece of sh*t, but quit doing stuff that puts a spotlight on Max and this site. If you're willing to risk yourself, go nuts. Just don't f*ck it up for everyone else. As far as some clueless FBI/cop prick may think, YTMND is the reason all this is happening, and that wouldn't bode well for this site's future.
Max, just sent a fairly sizeable donation/sponsorship. Thanks for not just shutting everything down in annoyance.

It's funny, really. Apparently, no one told him to take that page down, so he kept it up even to this day because he... didn't know you wanted him to take the page down? I'm sorry, but since when does being a millionaire make you ignorant as a f*cking rock? But yeah, something should be said for taking a loss with elegance by not retaliating any further, because lord knows "Tom Cruise Kills Oprah" is probably going to get jacked next, dated as it is.

Why no more Googlefight? If you want to end stupid fads you're going to have to go a lot farther than that. Some people will do clever ones and a million people will do idiotic ones, that's just the way it is. Banning it is stupid.

....ebaum's response to the matter makes me sick. How can that man call the FBI and label all DDoS'rs "Cyber Terrorists" when his own damn website did the exact same attack on somethingawful.com?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EBaum%27s_World#Something_Awful
Isn't this an act of Cyber Terrorism ? Shouldn't the FBI be at the eBaumer's neck right now?
Oh wait, I forgot. Justice and law is dead in this world. Rich people get to do whatever they want. Silly me....

Max, allow me to allplaud your professionalism in this matter. With your skillful response and your logical challenge based upon facts, you have effectively stood up not only for yourself, but for all of us. I just want you to know how much I personally appreciate it, and that you made YTMND out to be the professional party in this situation.

Max, if he wants to make this a legal matter, then let's go after him for content theft. We have the creator of the lohan gif here and he's also made a ytmnd saying that he did not submit it to ebaumsworld. There's your case right there.

"Right now we are calling their bluff," said Neil Bauman, vice president of the site and father of its creator Eric "eBaum" Bauman. "This is a 23-year-old kid operating a Web site out of his father's house. We want to see if big bad Viacom can shut him down."
Seems like Neil is the bully, but wait there's more...

This won't even go to court. Prosecutors won't touch this one cause Ebaum's hands are just as dirty by what he did with the hidden code to SA. So unless he wants to get smacked too, he should knock it off. And I doubt that the FBI will really pursue this. It would be a complete waste of their resources. They probably won't even put a whole agent on this case, just one who does this half the time and the other half he is the janitor.

Max, that was so beautifully handled. I can understand you wanting to work with them to end this petty waste of everyone's bandwidth. It does, as you said in your first notice about this "war", set a bad precedent. No one wants an unstable internet where major sites are crashed left and right because everyone pings all over en masse. I can see though this one put you over the edge and I applaud you for standing up to this bully. I could have and would have said the same things, but I would be dismissed as an immature cronie. The problem with people of Mr. Bauman's mentality is that he has his opinion of you set before he even speaks to you. There is nothing you can do about it: in his mind you are simply inferior and that's all there is to it. You dealt with him logically and without sinking to his level of insults. Good show, max.

SORRY for all the posts -- let me try this again! -------------
I just caught myself up on this "battle" that's been going on -- first off I must say for someone who criticizes professionalism, Mr. Bauman has pretty lousy grammar! Now I noticed this on his pathetic FAQ (does he even know what that stands for?)
"We honor ALL requests to remove unauthorized material. If any original content creator wants their material removed or wants to be given credit, they can contact us. Contrary to all of the attacks and threats, WE HAVE YET TO RECEIVE ANY COMMUNICATION FROM ANYONE CLAIMING TO BE THE ORIGINAL AUTHOR OF THE ANIMATION IN QUESTION, OTHER THAN THE USER WHO SUBMITTED IT TO US. IF YOU ARE THE ORIGINAL CREATOR AND WANT IT REMOVED, BY ALL MEANS, PLEASE LET US KNOW."
So is he saying that the person who submitted the image WASN'T the original author?? I quote from the e-mail he sent Max:
"There is this big dispute over a piece of content that we received a signed release for."
*CONTINUED*

"We honor ALL requests to remove unauthorized material.

As long as users can still access unauthorized content from his servers, ebaum has not complied.

You can not be held responsible for the actions of YTMND members unless you directly tell them or encourage them to harm this pathetic excuse for a piece of horse sh*t. What others do is not your responsibilty, Lets get that part clear and out of the way.
Now I will say that I doubt he has some corporate office. Seems any one with a Admin@site.com gets a huge epeen and thinks they are some big shot but thats not my main point here. You have this little thing called freedom of speech. That means if you want to make a picture of eric bauman and cover it in sh*t and post it on a site well guess what? YOU CAN. On my last note I would rather be a pimply faced 12 year old kid than a fat hairy 40 year old man who visits erics site. Fact is most 40 year olds who visit his joke site have no idea that over half his crap is ripped off from other sites. In a world today where half the people online use AOL I doubt they would know that he is not creative, he lacks skill and relies on ripping others work off.

While I do admit mocking Eric and Neil Bauman, I never would, or want to, DDOS attack his website or make death threats to Eric. But it wasn't just YTMND that attacked ebaumsworld. It was also groups like Newgrounds, Something Awful, Adult Swim, GameFAQs, 4chan, KNova, Fark, LUE, LivingWithStyle, D-Day and LUElinks.

Q. So now what?
A. Good question. We're hoping these individuals come to their senses and stop the attacks immediately. There's a professional way to handle this situation. There are no grounds for these types of malicious, unethical, ILLEGAL attacks. We honor ALL requests to remove unauthorized material. If any original content creator wants their material removed or wants to be given credit, they can contact us. Contrary to all of the attacks and threats, WE HAVE YET TO RECEIVE ANY COMMUNICATION FROM ANYONE CLAIMING TO BE THE ORIGINAL AUTHOR OF THE ANIMATION IN QUESTION, OTHER THAN THE USER WHO SUBMITTED IT TO US.

I want to know which kids thought it was funny and smart to go and send death threats--way to dig the grave, fellas. Just because eBaums is a site that profits on dishonesty does not mean that measures of that extent are necessary. Still, I'm so impressed that so many people decided that they were fed up with the injustice, and, finding no help--especially from the legal system--decided to try to remedy. Too bad vigilante-work never gets anywhere. =\
But bravo to Max for standing up for his rights--you really did have nothing to do with this, and you stick by it.
