We can dream, but thats very unlikely.
Although a different topic, this is kind of like the O.J. Simpson case, where the superior lawyer won (or so people say, whatever, I'm sure you get my point)

The sheer amount of money required to get this kid to win the case would simply not be worth it.

I don't think that they will have trouble with finding people to help them out financially. Hell, I wouldn't be suprised if Lowtax started a drive to help pay for this kid's legal fees. He's got most of the internet behind him, and his father understands if he wins, the reward will be pretty huge.

Too bad the guy sueing ebaums isn't a minority, because that'd be an ace in the hole.

Well I won't certainly attempt to change your opinion, especially if it would veer off topic. I think we can both agree, however, that Bauman deserves to be taught a lesson for constantly stealing work and passing it off as licensed to be on his site.

The kid specifically forbid Bauman to post his flash on his site.

He did it anyways.

If Bauman wins, lose all faith remaining in America.

You are going to lose all faith in America due to the decision of a small group of judges of jurors?

Wow.

Because of fan-support, eBaum's World--unfortunately--has original content and content allowed for use on that site by the creators. That, my friends, sucks.

Of course, eBaum's also has enough active stolen content to really cripple his site. His site started out as a site that hosted stolen content and will always be a site with stolen content. It's wrong when authors are not credited for their work and the person hosting the site profits from it, therefore eBaum's World is a flaming pile if failure.

I'm quite suprised this is the first time he's being sued. It's a known fact he has stolen content and it's quite obvious he is a liar.

People have threatened to sue, but have backed off because they didn't really have a way to prove it.

There is concrete proof of a copyright violation going on in this case.

I think the only thing that you have to remember Benny, is that:
"Just because everyone else is doing it, doesn't make it right."

If the cop catches you speeding, and you tell him "but everyone else was speeding too" he is still going to write you up. You may say that unfair, but he is going to write up everyone he catches. He can only catch so many people a day, though.


This is going to be a non-jury case of course, so much of the case hinges on what type of judge they get. If they get a judge that just loves to see big business go down, it will be an easy case. If we have a bureaucratic type judge, they might lose badly.

Here are some of the things that judges have ACTUALLY awarded.

A woman was burned by McDonalds coffee when it spilled in her car, and she sued because nothing on the cup said that it was hot. She was awarded over a million dollars.

A man bought a big Winnabego RV and the manual said it had cruise control. He turned on the cruise control and left the drivers seat to go back and rest, because he thought the cruise control would drive for him. When it crashed, he sued. He not only won millions, he also was awarded a new Winnabego.


These judges should be shot. There are other judges that push the absolute other way, against the citizen. Yes, these are extremes, but that doesn't mean that a judge wont have a little bit of bias one way or the other.
