This was brought to my attention recently by deadlock: eBaum’s World sucks. The main flash on the front page actually has a catchy tune and nice animation.
As you know, eBaum’s World hosts many flash animations and videos. It’s the place you visit when you want to find a funny flash and it’s most likely going to be on eBaum’s World even if you didn’t see it from there. Many people have complained that eBaum’s World stole their content and slapped on a eBaum’s logo on it and made money off it by selling ads on their site. They don’t even bother crediting the author of the content, hence people are calling them stealers. eBaum’s World “claims” that people submitted the content to them as their own and they always had the option of emailing them to take it off. But if you read the forums postings, you’ll noticed that eBaum’s World never replies to them, until force was applied.
Several users from the YTMND forums decided to launch an attack against eBaum’s World, even though the host of YTMND was against it. Check out the conversation Neil Bauman (CEO of eBaum’s World) had with Max (creator of YTMND): “Cease and Desist” from Neil Bauman
