Good

***** for levelheadedness and strategic thinking.

You win! You should've titled it "The Unfunny Truth about Copyright Infringment" though. :(

Yeah, 5'd for presenting the facts.

good, but kind of hipocritical huh. http://revengeonebaums.ytmnsfw.com/

4'd because I'd like to see evidence of how much ebaum is making. where did you get this $8,000 figure for the advertising?

Yeah, I admit, I had my share of spamming but then I sat down and thought about it and it really is a dumb thing to do and I regret that i spammed so much.

5'd not only for making complete sense, but +10 for michaelwolfson

For great justice.

The voice of reason.

Very nicely, put. Wish we had more members like you.

nothing said here was particularly eye-opening..still waiting on the reference for that $8,000 figure...

way to spread the trooth, braw!

it has nothing to do with money. it has to do with the fact that ebaum has a staff which is responsible for posting content and doing due diligence on verifying sources, ytmnd does not. also this is way too long and full of misinformation.

It's true that those conditions help in consideration of use of copyrighted material being protected as fair-use... but that's not air-tight protection by any means. Non-profits aren't strictly exempt, that's a common misconception. There's no agreement as to how little can be used cause it's all in these nebulous subjective terms. Fair-use for parody is also thin ice. Precedents in these cases are almost never conclusive - it comes down to who has the $$ to fight it out...

God, I just started to think about all that spamming I did a while back...

Can you name any YTMNDs with content stolen from Ebaums?

5 for "away way"!

trick question sorgrid! you cant steal content that is already stolen!

...with razor gator with my razor gator

Someone needed to f*cking say it.

lawl. facts FTW

And instead of getting something of the Cornell website you might want to look into the actual statutory construction of these terms in the different jurisdictions implicated in any alleged copyright infringement. Some general Contract Law page for first-year students isn't really valid information. But yes... spamming makes us all look like children and some of us are clearly old as sh*t.

ytmnd is non profit?

word up

5 for truth. 5 again for max commenting.

So is anyone going to court against ebaums world? I mean is everyone who had content stolen all talk? I've just been wondering if it's just going to remain a childish internet war? I want to see some action, I want to search google news for ebaum and get hundreds of court cases against ebaums world you know? But I doubt anyone will bother, which is a shame....Anyway on this ytmnd, well said, someone had to say it 1,337 stars for you!

Thank you

f*cking brilliant.

bravo

1'd for lack of spelling. Spellcheck is in your future, son. Look into it. 1'd again because you clearly don't understand copyright laws overly well. Look into that even harder.

-1

I never spammed their forums. NOTE TO EVERYONE: CITE SOURCES.

Interesting....

The people on Ebaumsworld insult us and such, and support such a site, so why are you saying that its not their fault?

Class Action FTW!

Not only do you win five stars for being an intelligent motherf*cker, you win five prostitutes. Use them well.

someone has made the point that some of the stuff he stole wasn't officially copyrighted. what is a good argument for that? just curious.

You've pointed out the facts. Alan Becker couldn't taken down ebaumsworld with a snap of the fingers, however...well I think we all know, but we can forgive mr. becker for the money. It is appearent that Mr.Bauman will possibly do anything to end a lawsuit against them with his victory.

Here's something ya need to do when a situration similar to Mr.Becker's happened to you. If ya ever go to sue mr.bauman, he might pay you alot of money to drop the charges, if he won't take it back, take it to the authoritys, the media, etc, so people will think he is bribing.

Then when come's the next day at court, simply give the money back to mr.bauman, use his own actions against him in court, and everyone at trail will know money can't buy everything. If he say's "I bought it fair and square", say "Did I say I would sell my 'Content' to you or anyone at all?", ???, Profit.

Thank you.

+2 for the message.

Jewing it to that stick?

you were kinda going around in circles towards the end there

http://gmanapproves.ytmnd.com/

you spelt "within" wrong when talking about where eBaums server is hosted.

Tighten up the spelling.

so get everyone to take them to court.

5 but take note that ebaum forum users are BIG f*ggots.

I mostly agree with what you're doing, but by your logic Youtube is safe from being sued because they don't make any money.

Spamming is still cool though. But after remembering we could buy an adspace, I say YTMND diverts server funds for a month to buy an ad on the front page of eBaum, with a message of our choice. Good idea? Possibly.

Oh, and you better believe Max wishes YTMND could turn into the next cash cow like Something Awful. You don't think he talked to Guy Kawasaki http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1591840562/guykawasakico-20/102-5179549-1318541 for fun do you?

100% true I loved it

5 for TRUTH.

Tell it like it is!

This needs to get to top 5 for getting attention it deserves. Every word of it is truth and should be followed by all of us.

TRUTH! I never have spammed and never will. Somone should create a bait for him to steal and have a lawyer on hand already.

Ebaum will one day destroy his own site, because he will steal content from Scientoligy. They'll probably bankrupt him, and this will all be over.

Alert the Internet

Good one.

max makes plenty of money off this website, if you understood how much he was making from adsense you would probably sh*t yourself

"Tighten up the spelling."

YTMND is a parady site regardless of if "Max" profits or not. Most users here don't have the cash/determination to take ebaum to court, and I personally don't think they would win their case anyway depending on what state they choose to fight in. Spamming the forums is fun to watch, and I'm sure causes quite a bit of hassle to ebaum's moderators and such. I would imagine it also increases traffic here. So f*ck your maturity.

-1

You could also say that by adding his watermark and not giving credit to the real author, it does appear like he's passing it off as his own work, so not only is it copyright, but plagarism.

I want to place an ad for ytmnd on ebaums lol

Yes. Very yes. EXTREMELY YES!!!

I HIGHLY doubt YTMND is a registered non-profit organization. Also, you have no idea how much Max makes off of the site. Does he put a lot back into it? Sure. But that doesn't mean he's not keeping any ad money for himself.

Also, nice link in the description. Here's another for you: http://tinyurl.com/r3um3

Fix your spelling errors, they make an otherwise good YTMND look kinda stupid.

I for one have never spammed their forums because I know It won't do anything. Thanks for the announcement, now maybe some people will actually understand what's going on.

5 Stars for Truth.

Great intentions but the numerous spelling errors don't help the cause. :|

nicely done, but i have to knock off a star for the numerous spelling errors

jinjoz if you saw how much it cost to host all these url's and all these images and sound clips. Youd probably sh*t you'reself.

Oh if only I were a lawyer. You should add that the lawyer who does sue in a big case like this stands to make a good profit. But, a 5 none the less, and Fav!

This site needs to spammed on their forums! Or smth...

Good work

I like how people talk as if they actually know how much max makes off ytmnd too. "Also, you have no idea how much Max makes off of the site"

Some good points made here, but I don't agree fully. People have taken Bauman to court and lost. Posting on YTMND are linked to the users that posted them. Ebaums forums are fair game, the people that post there are blind to the truth about Bauman ethics. Check out somethingawful.com.

Access is with double "c".

You spelled "access" wrong.

You misspelled access.

not possible

Spelling and Grammar?

Finally. Any down-voters are a bunch of "YTMND4evar!11" wanabes and have no knowledge of jack sh*t. Everyone who downvoted the "stop spamming" sites are a bunch of stuck up wanabes who were feeded false information and jumped the gun.

I know somebody is thinking $_$ Lawsuit time.

"acess"

jeez, look at all the money he makes from those ads! and all for stealing things. why does everybody in the ebaum forums support him?

you should become a lawyer ;P

i thought we were all childish idiots?

this is just a good a reason for us, the ytmnder's/interneters, to make our own material, use our own imagination and skills. so if that prick (eric b) does steal it u can take his *ss to court and put him down for good, also get alot of money :> but i still think the ebaums' forum member should still atleast be made fun of for being followers/supporters of that "guy".

We should make donations to "Pay for a lawyer to get ebaums taken off the internet"

Yes it would be an impossible to lose.

5 for maturity...buttsecks.

sh*t! I can't change my vote. w/e

Too true, very finely researched.

FINALLY!!! THANK YOU!! Please add more at the end as to what people SHOULD be doing, like writing letters to the USA network.

This is good stuff

Yes, but eBaumsworld users submit content to eBaumsworld that they think should be on eBaumsworld. So they DO loot and plunder

lol, speeling erars

WRONG. Get your facts straight. YTMND.com is not a LEGAL non-profit org, therefore this entire argument is f*ckING RETARDED. If it were a legal non-profit than you would be correct, however I see no where on the site that states this.

-1

all this is is a bunch of has assed assumptions, there is not one credible fact in the whole presentation. and being someone who works with adsense I'm confident max makes enough to cover his expenses and still has enough left over for rent and some persian hookers every now and then

-1

exactly. thank you.

ok, i'm going back to the forums to spam more. Thxbye

-1

You tell 'em.

A level headed assessment of the situation, except for one thing. Suing the Baumans isn't going to be as simple as you might think. They're members of God's Chosen People(tm), and that alone is often reason enough for them to escape punishment in our corrupted system.

Informative, but the ebaums forum people are idiots, so it's definitely fine to take it out on them.

INSTANTLY 5'D!

i say just post this link all over the ebaum's forums. ultimate pwnage

Yes... so true. There's a slight spelling error in the middle though. It's very distracting. Fix it.

Yeah, but it's funnier to just randomly annoy everyone involved, accomplishing nothing. It suits YTMND better.

right now.....ebaum is stealing someone's work

Aw sh*t, I'm a moron. I hit submit before typing. A very well constructed piece.

im thinking we buy an ad, say, to ebaumsworldsucks.com and put it up for a day or two

the balogna is in the nest, the pastrami is recyclable.

YTMND Soldiers! Take him to court!

The only reason we dislike the forum members is because they choose to support and believe in ebaumsworld.com

I agree...the spamming has never accomplished anything, and it makes us look like much more of dumbasses. If anything, give links to this YTMND. I promise to attempt to re-convince anyone who downvotes this.

I'm pretty neutral on this subject

maybe you're right, but wtf is the fun in that? don't take it out on the forum members of ebaum? who think ebaumsworld is this great haven of creativity? what's worse? he who steals to creat ebaumsworld or he who visits and enjoys with ignorant bliss?

I'm glad there's at least one more rational voice.

Excellent work.

I watched for awhile but when my younger sister died of old age I started to suspect it might be a little too long

-1

That's a smart YTMND from a very mature individual. It's fun to see YTMNDs of the dopes from eBaum forum users though.

Everyone needs to see this! "not non-profit" sounds kinda clumsy. I thought "for profit" was the proper term... But meh, in the words of Vader: "We can end this destructive conflict!"

Uhh, WRONG. The fact that YTMND is non-profit doesn't mean that it is protected under copyright law. Read the sentence in your YTMND regarding copyright law again. Not only does it have to be non-profit but the material can only be used for "criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, or research." YTMND is none of these things. NOT EVEN COPYWRITE LAW CAN SAVE YOU FROM ME

-1

''I mostly agree with what you're doing, but by your logic Youtube is safe from being sued because they don't make any money.'' Youtube posts videos that are still being sold as DVDs, and shows that are still aired, etc. That detracts from the materials worth and is an infringement, nonprofit or not. OGROK, find me a YTMND with copywrited material that isn't a parody. Really.

Ebaums STEALS the content and the only change to that content it to add is watermark. There was not reactivity or thought that went into what he does. In addition, some of his sites are not even hosted on his site. He leached the Cornholio sound board and shut the guy down. YTMND users, for the most part, edit the content and make something new from it. The YTMND usage is still copyright infringement. At least, at a minimum, it’s creative.

sorry, im drunk atm

class action lawsuit is coming. bunch of popular animators and media sites involved. ebaums will lose and subsequently be shut down. more to come.

"look like" childish idiots?

Well done. Very well done!

The one flaw in your argument is the fact that a lawsuit against Eric is an 'un-loseable' case. Bauman has so many lawyers it wouldn't matter. Love the ytmnd, though.

A Very Very Sad Truth told about EBaum. A 5 for Joo!!

To Wojiz: Bauman is Beatable in Court. Don't Think that E-Baum has Special Protected status. Because there will be someone who can crack through him.

Truthiness!

You Spelled Within Wrong!!!!!!!!!

have u noticed that your Van Halen is warez'd? YOU FAIL

cool

Thanks for putting it in perspective

I was wondering when somebody on YTMND would openly admit its content is stolen too, and I'm glad somebody did. But I didn't know YTMND was non-profit, so nicely done on the research =)

change "Lie and Plunder" to Loot and Plunder" for a 5

No..! No! Thats impossible! Search your heart, you know it be true... No.. Noooooo! >_

We're not punishing the forum users, we're educating them.

Thank you. I knew some people had to have common sense in this world of ours.

someone needs to take him to court, and show this site to win

Then what's really needed is a set up.

this ytmnd is filled with poorly researched information and while it has good intentions it creator is clearly not an expert on the subject

This site still makes money, not saying that the site creator steals stuff or anything but your "facts" are misguided

first off, f*ck off down voters, second of all you win, third you win

i have never even been to their forums.

IF YOU ASSOCIATE YOURSELF WITH THE ENEMY, YOU ARE THE ENEMY. HUZZAH!

your defending ebaums....f*ggot

If only I hadn't fallen asleep halfway through the presentation I'd given you a higher score...

Kinda like how most YTMNDs are stolen from 4chan or Break...

For great justice! I five this!

copyright law is not very rigid and is very broadly interpreted, usually in favor of the plaintiff of any given suit.

It would be cool if it actually would work that way, but for a person to take ebaum to court, said person would have to practically outspend them, oh, and need I remind you, they have teh monies.

RIGHT ON BROTHER!, ive been waiting for some one to point that out, i figured it wasnt my place to point out american law seeing as i am canadian! KEEP UP THE GOOD LEGAL WORK!

I never been in those fourms either. Its the noobs that get in the way.

lol, "anwser" "acess"... oh yeah, TRADER! 1'd

well, it's true

ya rly nice job with the research and citations definitley a five. if i could, i'd sponsor this one.

grey rectangle ftw

I do not think that anyone really cares to sure Eric. Even if they did, they would most likely lose due to the fact that Eric Baumen is loaded. Though, I could be mistaken.

Good clean sense.

Fair use.

spellcheck mah man.

damn right

5 for van halen and 5 for ebaum bashing. about time somebody actually posted real sh*t that would f*ck over the baumans

you fail, please try again ^_^

you win, keep up the good work. ;D

so true, so true :) that makes me wanna make something funny then sue him if he steals it lmao

http://objection.mrdictionary.net/go.php?n=1024666

No one will counter me? I'll do it myself then. LOL. http://objection.mrdictionary.net/go.php?n=1026018

Yeah to your stupid little Phoenix Wright thing I would of just said thats the dumbest loop-hole ever. Thatd be like me saying "Hey Sentry (a friend of mine in RL) I made a place to upload user created submissions on www.ergwow.com (my site dont go there its a WIP) so I would like to see *random copywritten material* on there but I cant so would you??"

Good points, the thing is that if you do take it out on eBaums forums in mass raids such as the YTMND-Day attack, you're in effect f*cking over the entire website by crashing the servers. Generic spamming is just that, retarded and done by NARVs. On the other hand, most "stolen" content on YTMND is also heavily modified from its original state. If it's not, then it usually sucks and gets low ratings. In addition, Max isn't responsible for that content.

finally. thank you.

Spelling. Too long. Questionable interpretations of Copyright law.

WONDERFUL! you win, good day sir

does this no longer apply?

I Loved your sitehttp://ebaumsfacts.ytmnd.com5'ed

I Loved your site http://ebaumsfacts.ytmnd.com 5'ed, check out my page votecoder5.ytmnd.com when you have time!

We need something tottally awesome to take them down by sueing them. I can brianstorm.

So why has noone brought him to court then?

wow, i can see the point you are trying to make hrer,exellent job on research:)

5

True perhaps, but fun? Notsomuch.

no sorry you fail, citing sources ftw

Wait a second here... YTMND's funny and entertaining content comes from stolen things, yes. But what makes them funny or entertaining is the very original and creative editing coming from registered users, from simple jokes, to something along the wide array of very original inside jokes ytmnd has (that ebaumsworld doesn't). Ebaumsworld registered users do not do anything creative for their site, rather they steal things and submit them. Ebaumsworld then claims responsibility of the content.

ok first of all, are you a lawyer? if not then stop acting like you know everything there is to know about this....secondly, he didnt use grotesque amounts of anything, he used one image, so according to you he is protected.....but also not protected......pretty condradictory dont ya think?

Hasbro already tried to take Mr. Bauman to court over stolen content (specifically the redubbed GI Joe shorts), but his legal team successfully painted them as looking like a big corporate bully such to the point where they backed off. Taking someone to court, especially when that person has a team of high-priced lawyers, is sadly not as easy as this makes it seem. Why do you think it took Napster so long to die?

ANYONE WHO 1S IS A NlGGER!!

"His site is hosted witin the USA?" Shouldn't it be "within?"
