At least Ebaum didn't take away the Copyright Alan Becker on the animation itself, thus giving credit to the kid.

Wrong.

Re: Ebaums is getting sued

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.

Re: Ebaums is getting sued

So, with such a high stupidity rate, and a HIGHER greed rate things are hit and miss.
It COULD happen, or because our good flash animater didn't do anything wrong, maybe they wont give him anything, because after all, he wasn't some idiot.

In November, Mr. Grazinski purchased a brand new 32 foot Winnebago motor home. On his first trip home, having joined the freeway, he set the cruise control at 70 mph and calmly left the drivers seat to go into the back and make himself a cup of coffee. Not surprisingly, the Winnie left the freeway, crashed and overturned. Mr. Grazinski sued Winnebago for not advising him in the handbook that he could not actually do this. He was awarded $1,750,000 plus a new Winnebago...

Too bad it's fake.

...despite these stories having been debunked years ago, they not only still circulate, but many reporters, columnists and radio "personalities" still talk about them as if they were true, which says a lot about their professionalism. In many outrageous cases, these lazy "news" people will even link to this site as the source of these silly lies!

Re: Ebaums is getting sued

Wow, this is dichotomously idiotic. Wanting anything other than the self-gradifaction of knowing that your little flash animation that contributes nothing to society has been posted on the best humor site around is greedy. There, I said it, the plantiff is greedy and deserves to lose not only his mediocre site, but his life, and lives of the people he knows and loves.

Re: Ebaums is getting sued

Maybe he really did just bait ebaums with a worthless flash file in order to catch him in the act.

And yes, it is rather lame that people who steal music suddenly cry 'copyright' when it's their own file being stolen.

But the circumstances are much different in this case, and very few people who linger on the Internet for much of their days express interest in ebaumsworld, mainly because the website is a total rehash of funny material from other, more respected websites. The only difference is that ebaums PROFITS from this. He profits from taking things without permission. Do you profit from taking an MP3? In terms of not having to pay for a CD, yes, but you're not gonna turn around and sell the MP3 you got.

Think again about what you consider the best humor site around. The humor is mainly stolen content from those who've spent time and effort into making things for the rest of the Internet to laugh upon. If it's posted on ebaums and not stolen, it's usually not funny.

Nowhere did I say "dichotomous" in the adjective sense, I said "dichotomously", in the adverb sense which means "two conflicting entities or ideas" or something around that.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/dichotomy

here, It's all BS until you find this definition


And I define eBaum's world as the best in terms of "one-stop-hilarity" with no regard to where the content came from. I'm sorry if this comes across as ignorant, but I go to eBaum's to cool off and relax, not for damn politics. I'm sure (in fact, I know) there are MUCH more legit sites with their content that was earned legally. I see this as a clown suing another clown for using its makeup.

[MalReynolds]

Re: Ebaums is getting sued

Yes, only the makeup one clown is using is stolen from the other clown and several other clowns who all make their own makeup.

See, no matter how you cut it, it doesn't work out in the favor of eBaums.

You know, if you're going to try to use big words to make yourself look smart, at least spell them right.

And the fact that you're utterly wrong and are just an ebaums fanboy is amusing.

If I were a clown, and I saw somebody steal my makeup and my act, removing all trace of credit from me, and making a profit from it, I'd sue in a heartbeat.

I did spell it right, Chief.

And I'm no fanboy of a site, I'm a fan (fanyboy) of hilarious games and video, and if just because I can get all my laughs and entertainment from one site labels me a "fanboy" of that site, then sobeit, I don't care about label or titles.
