Call me unimpressed. Ebaums has had more REAL users on before than were on for that raid. I'm all for destroying ebaums, but because it sucks, not over some intellectual property "YOU STOLE MY INTERNET JOKE" bullsh*t. Do we really need to create a vigilante RIAA that cares about stupid animated gifs? Destroy it 'cause it's boring - not for any other reason.

Now one of these days, Ebaum is going to steal from the wrong site, they're gonna sue him for a insanely large ammount and shut him down. If the FBI/FCC don't catch him first. They're beginning to take intellectual property (the ideas and original thought of the others) seriously and it's only a matter of time before the law catches up with him. Alternatively, a class-action lawsuit by all those who have had material/property stolen from them could also shut down Ebaums, especially if they want to try to get him to repay by charging daily use in the past for items used starting from the date in which the original request to remove was started OR if the artist was only recently alerted since the time it was posted. So before anymore of you Ebaum fanboys attempt to drop the lame "he only hosts" crap you now have officially been out argued by someone who can string more than swear words and other low level vocabulary by a man who can actually process large words.

In the vast history of the Internet, Ebaums is just another senile hiccup. Don't waste your time with them. Heed Max. Enjoy YTMND and gloat over these pathetic thieves. We have the goods. Let Ebaums putrify in their own waste products. The fact that they steal from us shows their utter moral and intellectual poverty. They'll end up in the same place as the Pets.com sock puppet! Max can buy Eric's sorry *ss at the bankruptcy sale.

Max totally owned Eric. Eric wasn't expecting an intellectual reply, LOL!

Oh, and as much as i supported people sending e-mails to the ebaum's host reporting theft of intellectual property, trespassing IS taking it way too far.

MAX IS GOD! A team of intellectuals, lawyers and script writers could not have written a better reply. I'm looking forward to reading the response from the "executive vice president".

Since he's so intellectual, he'd know that the academic community doesn't allow plaigarism of any kind, even from online sources. The penalties in post secondary for this are very severe and can result in expulsion (or worse, they'll eat your first born child). I guess he need not worry about intellectual things...LOL (sic), not to mention the fact that he was totally and completely owned by YTMND and Max.

You're seriously going to go the "intellectual property" route here? Ugh.

Who's to say the ebaums rip wasn't parody? I mean, it clearly wasn't because they're too dumb to get satire, but the very notion of claiming intellectual property of them when it's assembled of pictures whose individual copyrights weren't cleared? It's retarded. Do you really think the site owner got the go-ahead from Rolling Stone to use any of the images from their shoot of Lohan? Trying to prevent the free exchange of ideas is a stupid, slippery slope.

The funny part is that you guys defended the "copyright" of a guy who made his picture by stealing from magazines and photographers. If you defend copyright, you're opening the floodgates to destroying almost all the cool sh*t on the internet. Do you really think we'd survive a lawsuit for the trillion Mario sites? For the use of the Muhammad Hassan theme? For sampling ANY musician with deep pockets? For running whole scenes of Family Guy? Find a better reason to hate ebaums (there are plenty) and quit being hypocrites on this intellectual property sh*t.

inkdrinker there is a difference between intellectual property that is used as parody as so many people have mentioned, and this lindsay lohan doesn't change facial expressions was a compilation of various images. It was a creative "product" so to speak. Whereas if ebaums world took a family guy scene just like ytmnd, nobody would be in an uproar over that. There are huge differences here.

There's a huge ARTISTIC difference. The legal difference is very very slim. Don't act like I don't understand the implications of sampling, okay? Sampling is valid art. It's also a sure way to get sued if you don't clear your samples with the original artist. There's no way we can have it both ways here. Either we're pirates and we make kick-ass stuff and copyrights be damned, or we care about intellectual property and we delete almost every single site here.

"There's nothing wrong with it. We have the right to use what we want." Which would mean even Ebaum has the right to steal from us, even if he's a douchebag. That's the point I've been trying to make all along. We can't scream bloody murder about intellectual property one minute and steal the next.

would still like him to give the source though... thats what the true war is about... its not the fact that he makes money off it, its the fact that people intellectual property is not correctly posted and is posted without any comment for the original artist

get a lawyer who deals with intellectual property rights / copyright law... this whole argument is stupid. the real issue here is the jews, and why they are still on ytmnd. also, the whites are becoming a growing concern. Moves should be made immediately to eliminate these two groups...

ha, I work for an intellectual property law firm - Scientology's lawyer have got nothing on YTMND

You post in a way that makes slugs and other invertebrates look like Nobel Prize winners. I suggest you hone your writing skills before applying borrowed glories as a mere typist. Clearly, you have lost your fingertip grip on reality and have descended into an abyss of irreversible lunacy. You wouldn't know a clue if it walked up to you, bit you on the ass, and announced 'I AM A CLUE'. A long period of non-posting would be most welcome on your part. I am reminded of something relevant that Benjamin Disraeli said: "He was distinguished for ignorance - for he had only one idea and that was wrong." You have that certain nothing. Truly, you are about as interesting as watching a slug move slowly across a large rock. You are validating my inherent mistrust of strangers. Maybe you wouldn't come across as such a jellyfish-sucking mental midget if you weren't intellectually outclassed by dead sheep; if your weren't so fat that your clothes come in three sizes: Extra Large, Jumbo, and Oh-My-God-It's-Coming-Towards-Us!, or if you didn't have a face so ugly that Peeping Toms break into your house and close the blinds. Nah, of course you would. In closing, I offer these heartfelt words: Go suck on a frozen pineapple, *ssh*le.

Hahahaha. Bible quotes to look intellectual and devout. Sure signs of a fundementalist Christian. Possibly one just to spite the current atheism trend among his age group. Oh well, the quotes were somewhat relevant. But the fact he's on YTMND in the first place, let alone referring to these quotes on sites says a lot.

Look, posting spoilers to a book which isn't even out yet is inappropriate, sorry. Those spoilers are a violation of the intellectual property rights of the author and the publisher, property rights YTMND claims to respect. You could always do the right thing and take down the spoilers, that's all they want really, and I agree with them. No one wants a protracted legal battle, especially when you know you're wrong.

How is it a violation of intellectual property rights? For that to be he would have to benefit monetarily from it. He would either have to pawn the book ideas off as his own and try to sell them or take the spoilers and charge people to see them. Since YTMND is non profit you can't argue that he is trying to make money off it. Where is the violation? You would have to prove he sought to make money off of this which you cannot. Their legal notices are all bluster and no substance.

Mmm, no. Claiming a book as your own is plagiarism, a uniquely different issue which is a violation of academic discipline, not Federal law. You don't go to jail for plagiarism, simply discredited. However, a violation of intellectual property rights does not require proft. If that were so software licensing agreements would be unconscionable, because you aren't neccessarily profiting from an illegal copy of Photoshop. The bottom line is this is an actionable tort, and I'm behind the publisher.

should have asked those peons for some f*cking compensation dude they used your work without permission that's YOUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY BRO

Wow, you seriously think I was serious? How intellectually stunted can you be? Full of folly you are to assume I was serious. I am serious however regarding the half voting part for any other idiots that couldn't tell the obvious difference between the serious part and sarcastic part of my recommendation.

The reason he hates the Internet is because it undermines the monopoly of pretentious "intellectual" fags like him.

I like how you attempt to make yourself look as though you're some sort of intellectual, yet have simple mistakes throughout the entire unimpressive utterance. This just makes you look like those inbred seventeen year olds you claim to be so much better

I forgot how bad the dialogue could get, f*cking pretentious pseudo-intellectual babble.

the whole f*cking point. As far as intellectual, you can consider me Stephen "f*cking" Hawking in comparison to your drivel. Have a nice day. ;)

+2 for intellectual humor

O noes! Are you telling me our highly intellectual YTMND discussions are going to be dumbed down?!?!

Although I hate Wikipedian psudo-intellectuals, this fails. Hack Wiki, erase their databases, and post goatse all over it and then you can calling it "owning".
