The YTMND war

[AThousandLies]

What the hell man? This is just being blown way out of proportion. Maybe the guy stole, in which case he's in the wrong, but what's this stuff about a crusade? It's a joke site for gods sake. How is this a crusade or a war? It's just a bunch of adolescant, sexually frustrated script kiddies and geeks getting all pissy because one site stole some material which could've easily been stolen in the first place from another. Crusade my [wagon].

There is a difference between stealing the odd time and stealing then refusing to take down the content even after the author of said content has requested you to and eventually profiting off it.

[Lionheart_0]

You guy's do realize the only real way to dystory the site is to go to the server and shut down the site.... dystorying forums wont do you any good.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Edit: And acutle im surprised at many of you, not asking for proof. Im not a supporter of Ebaums world, but Id like to see some proff here that he has plagerized.

[Mercifull]

Eric Bauman stole some of my artwork and flash and put them on his site with no credit back :(

[Mercifull]

but Id like to see some proff here that he has plagerized.

Theres COUNTLESS examples of this but heres on thats shown as an example on wikipedia...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Image originally taken from the Something Awful forums (as shown by the mention of Lowtax) and rebranded to indicate it comes from eBaum's World. This version was found on eBaum's by future SA user Kuroneko, prior to his ever hearing of SA; he explicitly releases it under the terms of the GFDL. It is used here as supporting evidence that eBaum's takes material from all over the Internet, rebrands it, and denies credit to the creators/owners.

Yeah, so, he made a stupid mistake, but there's no reason to dramatise it to this extent and turn it into some self-righteouss [cabbage]. All these YTMND fanboys are hardly helpng the situation.

[Anesthesia]

He didn't make *A* stupid mistake, he made a chain of 'stupid mistakes' which he has shown no regret over. Anyone with half a brain would realise they weren't mistakes.

No idea about what's happening, huh?

Unless the original poster left out some details, I do know. He plagiarized, but honestly, this is just juvenile.

[Stuart_G]

The thing that they are getting all rightious about is the fact that he steals things, slaps on his watermark and then gains profit from all this with none of it going back to the people that made the flash/sound file/picture/whatever.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As for what started it, he copied this and then put it up on his site here with out giving credit to the maker and putting his little watermark on it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now this didnt go down with the people at ytmnd so they started trying to take him down and alot of other sites have joined in with them because hes stolen their stuff too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So now its blown up to a full on internet flame war, which is just lame.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hope that answers your question.

Honestly, it's not lame. And Athousandlies, you're just being ignorant.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

He has been stealing content for years and slapping on his brand mark. It isn't just a couple incidences.

[____]

It's gone well beyond an 'internet flame war' before. He's been told to take down content or face a lawsuit. Which he meerly does followed by some BS excuse before going out and doing it all over again. All in all he doesn't give a damn where his content comes from, so long as it ends up with his watermark on it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Any more questions as to why so many people hate him and why this finally happened?

Do tell me, how am I being ignorant? I'm not in any way supporting him; stealing from the internet, despite being so damn common, is not something I'm for. I shouldn't have said it was just a mistake, because that sounds as if it's excusable, which it isn't. I'm just saying, the way these other sites are responding is hardly achieving anything. Fighting juvenility with juvenility? Yeah, real productive. As previously mentioned, spamming the forums isn't going to do much with the actual site. The only useful possible action is suing him - that is, if the other sites and people whom have been stolen from had copyrighted their material, otherwise, there's no hope.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But really, if you think I'm ignorant for not supporting "ebaumsistehgay" or "ebaumsgotassraped", then I pity you. It's just a bunch of morons taking advantage of anonymity in hope that their futile actions have an affect on the case at hand.

Yeah, its not lame, but they way some are going about it is. Flooding each others forums with "eBaums is teh gayz0r" or "YTMND have sex with animals" is what i consider lame.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just thought i would clarify that.

Didn't he get a cease and desist letter or something like it from Hasbro about the GI Joe stuff?

And Viacom and Sega....

 

 

 

Eventually he removes the stuff but it doesnt stop him adding yet more plagurised stuff every day to make up for it.

My comment is from the fact that they have tried legal action numerous times and it's been a complete failure. The current actions of ytmnd and other sites may seem juvenile, but it's really all the members can do at this moment. He refuses to taken his stolen material down and produces lame [wagon] reasons.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

eBaum actually tried to down the somethingawful server by putting up code on his site that would call from the SA server and double the load.

If it's this bad, then they could easily file a proper lawsuit - I mean, if he's stolen as much as people say, then the five sites alone could bring him down with appropriate evidence. And I don't see how this is fighting fire with fire; unless you're referring to both actions being totally stupid.

[Phil]

I probably wouldn't really care about it, but the fact that Eric Baumen is getting rich off stealling other people's stuff annoys me. :?

Are you gonna finance that lawsuit?

[cadburys_egg]

Newgrounds forever. 8)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ive never really like ebaumsworld...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Albino is good so is the Dev-art flash section, but i'll stick with newgrounds thank you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Heathen!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

YTMND FTW!

[Qwexome]

First i'd like to say how amazed i am at the response from tip.it about this, i had a feeling that it'd be closed for advertizing or something =].

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyways, Max Goldberg, creator of YTMND, wishes to pull out of the 'war' and i for one am with it. HOWEVER, Maybe take all the crusaders from YTMND and make a new anti-ebaum union? Or join up with the more fervent sites? Really, let Max have his site as he wants it, i mean, he's being nice by not taking off anti-ebaum content, so we could return the favor...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes, there is one way to srew eric over...we need to create a character, copywright EVERY IMAGE of it, and hope to god someone from ebaumsworld stumbles upon it, uses the vegtable brain they are so noted for, slaps a watermark on it, and places it on ebaumsworld. Then, PWNXORZ!!! we could get ebaums sooo bad, and bring up the past offenses, while not with copywrighted materials, but still spineless nonetheless...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

...I for one would go for this fully...

If the members of YTMND are willing to make total [wagon] of themselves with the stupid [cabbage] like they're doing in an attempt to make a difference, I'm sure once they developped a brain they'd realise that it would be a just cause to donate a few bucks to make sure stuff like this doesn't happen again. And there have been threats of a lawsuit before; why would they make those threats when they were unable to follow through?
