Hey, Fluorescent's not a bad guy -- I'd hate for people to look at his sig and be like, "wtf, you misspelled your own username?"

Now that it's been pointed out, he can go kick Samineru around for being a moron and not looking up the word (or even looking at the username) and get it fixed.

Smartest thing I've ever read on this forum

On-topic: My question is how come Bauman hasn't been sued before (or has he)? If he's been stealing other people's work, I would think he'd have been sued more than once.

anyone here who dls anime or music or anything has NO RIGHT TO TALK.

It's on a different scale, yes, but it's still stealing a person's hard work. Also, does this guy make money for this flash? People making anime and music do.

Shut up you ebaums haters, half of you steal too.

That's an awful argument, because we don't make money stealing off of people. Eric Bauman's BUSINESS is making an income stealing from kids who make the flashes

And just because people steal music doesn't justify what Bauman does.

Yeah I better go fly to Japan and buy all the music and movies instead

Unlicensed anime is not really stealing and most music I download is free music made to actually be good and not some mainstream bull****.

Is Ebaums world seriously the only website that steals?

Also, many websites make money by stealing like that, whether it be by donations, registration fees, or something else.

Say whatever you want, but things are stolen eveyr (oopc) day for money, you just have selective vision.

And blurk, have you ever seen the list of stepfiles over at BMS? I'm pretty sure you can get some of those over in America. Sweden too.

(ps I realize this is going to get locked for being a flame war, and no matter what you tell me, I'm not changing my opinion, call it stubborness if you want, but I really don't care)

Apparently proof has been lacking.

I rarely download sims from bms unless someone tells me to or if it's a new Kil/Aperson/Zagh/all my favourites new sims.

I buy as much music as I can. Too bad nobody likes good music here in Sweden and only sells crap. Importing from USA or Japan is way too expensive but I still do it once in a while when I got money.

It's not that ebaums is stealing, so much as that he removes their watermarks and identification tags and puts his own on there, has pop-ups and pop-unders, and has enough money so that anyone that tries to get their stuff back will be drained in small claims court (his father is his lawyer; what a cool kid). He makes over $2,000,000 annually because he steals others works and then advertisers pay, whereas someone that downloads music, the person they download from isn't getting a penny...

So there goes your arguement.

Pretty ****ed up world. There's proof yet ebaums could still win cause they got the money. Money is everything.

If ebaums gets shut down my sister will be pretty sad haha she goes there all the time.

Okay, lets go on a crusade to stop EVERY SINGLE WEBSITE THAT DOES THIS.

Regardless of what you want to see, if you are doing jsutice, it has to be done with all, and it sure as hell isn't.

Also, what about the websites people dl the music from?

I understand what you guys are getting at, but the fact you all only aim this at ebaums just sickens me.

Maybe before you publicly proclaim your hatred of the United States, you should actually see how the case ends up? Besides, when it comes to fraud and unfair legal decisions/structures, there is much, much, worse out there in the world.

Ebaums is far more popular than any other site, and most sites who do the same thing are so obscure or unknown that it doesn't really cause a dent in the internet.

Look at the Michael Jackson case. He got away with it, but it was huge.

A regular guy who would get accused of the same thing would get no press, but get banged up as he had no money to get off.

Who do we talk about more. Faceless guy or Michael Jackson?

The websites people download stuff from, look again recently at how Piratebay got raided and taken down for a few days but got away with their charges.

Seriously man, stop posting and think for a minute. The only reason we are aiming this at ebuams is because ebuams is getting sued. If it was FFR getting sued we'd be talking about FFR. If it was this or that we'd be talking about this or that.

No, you don't seem to get it.

If I downloaded somebody's music, removed all trace of the person's name from it, put my name on it, and put it on my website, and every time someone downloaded it I get paid, and the original author didn't, I'd be doing what eric bauman is doing right now.

Exactly. Beat me to the punch.
Benny, you have no idea what you're talking about and are horridly incorrect. You might know what you were talking about if you had ever done anything to be particularly proud of.

There's been a whole thread based around an argument about my loathing of the US before, and we're not getting into this again. In short, just because there are plenty of worse places doesn't in any way make this place good.

Seriously, as much as I think that one man deserves as much credit as the next, Bauman will probably come out on top of this case. Providing that Alan Becker plays his cards right he may have a shot at winning a court case over Baumans' company. Let alone, stealing original work is discredit to the author and the violator(s) are subject to trial. That said, if Alan loses the case, we, the community, should act for him. Any ideas?

*Edit for greatness* While visiting the violator's site, I found this: http://www.ebaumsworld.com/2006/06/courtbrawl.html

I hope it gets bloody.
