3691, eBaum's World Sucks Posted by saikou, Feb-19-06 02:37 PM
Any of ya'll aware of this? http://www.ebaumsworldsucks.com/
I've always loved eBaum's World and knew nothing about how they steal people's work and slap their logo on them. :nono Honestly, I don't care... but the flash at the above link was pretty funny. :)

it may be true, but the numa numa video is hilarious. Last year my roommate and I (mostly my roommate) did an indepth search of the song and found the real artists along with the music video to go along with it, and it has to be one of the gayest/funniest things ever. And when I say gay I don't mean stupid, I mean full of flaming homosexuals, it looked more like a video that would be a part of a children's learning program and not an international craze.

Yeah, AltF4 and LemonDemon from Something Awful made that. Bauman has stolen alot of work from guys on SA and Fark. They never gave him permission to take their work. At one point he had malicious code in the front page directed at Something Awful. There are a few mirrors of his site up, that leaches his bandwidth, but doesn't give him anything because it gets rid of all the popup's and banners. If he didn't make so much money from other people's work, I wouldn't have a problem with him.
SA has been making a list of their work for Bauman to take off his site. He said he would take it off if he got a list. We're waiting to see if he's telling the truth.

That is exactly the problem. A lot of people/artists are losing a lot of money that is going directly into Bauman's pocket without permission.
I've been following this from the beginning as well.
