i gotta get into the content stealing business -

where's that Flash video about Eric Baumman.

the funniest thing ever is YTMND's Shakespearian re-enactment of a threatening letter from Eric's dad.

I moved my sites to Vacares Hosting. I've saved money, my hair is thicker, lost some weight too! Thanks Sly!

Putfile.com, YourDailyMedia.com, FunMansion.com, Dorks.com, Holylemon.com, and UnOriginal.co.uk and no eBaum

they've spent close to $30 million dollars on buying sites that rip content.

Ebaums has been dropping for a long time, They have been trying everything to combat it, new design / user uploads etc

I guess this was the last resort...

hheld have proven to be a bunch of amateurs so I'm going to guess its only going to get worse...

Yeah, I gotta love the euphemism "user-generated content (UGC)" - nice way of saying "shit your users stole from someone else".

MPAA and other copyright holders should be in there like a shark on blood looking for a payback for all the content that was stolen and now effectively resold.

I remember about four years ago he said on a board (it may have even been here) that he wouldn't sell his site for $1 million, and all of the responses to that said he was crazy.

Two of the funniest things i've seen on the web. The guy that wrote that song, lemondemon or whatever it was is actually quite talented.

They're probably thinking viral videos and youtube like sites are the future of the internet. Since they're already in that business, they might as well buy Ebaum now before it gets bought by someone else.

They have a much different angle than that. Handheld Ent. is trying to round up brand names that target the 18-34 male market so they can repurpose those videos for mobile phone distribution.

They really don't care much about the online part. It's all about the cell phones.

As long as the DMCA is still valid the lawsuits mean nothing for them. It won't until the YouTube vs. Viacom suit gets it's day in court.
