cleanup time.

As I am a man of my word, at midnight tonight I will be deleting anything with the term "ebaum" in the title.
I will be doing this in batch, as such, I will not be able to delete sites with "e-baum", "e.baum" etc. If you have any sites you would like to save, please do so now
I'm glad this is all over now. For those of you looking for the cease and desist letter, go here.

Good job, though in the letter he said he recived no literate Phone calls or somthing to that extent... :| I called him, was polite trying to explain why our whole community was in an uproar and after my long speech,no profanity insults or anything. He said I should grow up and not be spoiled .... I hung up on him, If no one belives be by the way, I had a witness :/ She was sitting here and even she says he was an *ss and that for a 14 year old, I was very VERY polite and I actually had some good points. But meh, it's nice to see you being the bigger man :D
Yes, delete anything with the term "ebaum" in the title or url. This does not include, therefore limits anything containing the terms "Bauman, E-Douche, Ebumb, Ebomb, Ebitch, Eloser, Edick, Ef*g" see, it really just keeps going on. However, now, there's no point in going on.
Tangent: The user who submitted the two ytmnds to realfunnyvideos.com goes by the name of The Boss. My paranoid conspiracy senses tell me that's a paper thin disguise for a Bauman. They figure they are the "boss" since they are like the only people who ever made money off the internet.
---> What is a Yiddish cup? I think someone knowledgeable should weigh in on this. I've only been able to find three references (besides those to the klezmer band). http://www.evangelist.org/archive/htm2/0426riit.htm indicates that it is an idiomatic expression for one's business sense. the other two are found in google groups; one appears to be randomly generated, and the other does not provide sufficient context to infer the meaning of the phrase.
http://www.ebaumsworld.com/images2/lohanfacialfucuguyz187.gif (link is dead). Note the file name has a message, Lohan-facial-fuc-u-guyz-187, meaning "f*ck you guys, 187". The number "187" is the numeric code for "murder" used by law enforcement, which may be interpreted as a death threat from eBaum's World itself.
Two cease and desist emails [7] were sent to YTMND's webmaster, M
I'm three months away from graduating from law school. if the chief wants me to call ebaum and his scrot-licking friends on all of their bullsh*ttery, I would be more than happy. Also, why don't you guys (the 'puter savvy folks) just take everything off of bauman's site and put it elsewhere? Start an internet boycott and redirect everyone to the stolen content.
What happens if, after the deletion of the YTMND's in question, Ebaums world puts Lindsay Lohan back up? That's a sh*tload of YTMND's down the drain and a big "LOL" in the face of YTMND. ;[ I'm not one to be a pessimistic bastard, but the fact remains, Ebaums' folk are twats, and they're liable of pulling a stunt like that. It's your call, and I'm glad to see this finally coming to an end, even if it was literally, the best E-Drama I have ever seen. Apart from that though, Gfg Max, gfg.
While I'm not condoning what happened, like those over at Newgrounds I have to say I'm glad that something at least was done. This surely was a wake up call to them, to everyone, to say that we will not stand idly by while our work is exploited. Congrats on the first joint-venture of almost every big forum on the net.
"Encouraging people to change their sites to "e-baum" instead of "ebaum" just seems like it's
asking for Neil to put Lohan back up." If you think about it Max is holding up to his word LOL. Ebaum left the picture up and just got rid of the HTML like Max asked. So if Max wants to just get rid of plain ebaum its fine. =) Just remember the internet is serious business.
You don't have to get a copyright at all. there is a bill where any work created it is automatically copyrighted. Any ways I figure if Ebausm, reposts the picture, we are the bigger people in the end. Cuz he did not stay with the agreement so he seems like a sneaky pr*ck. I figure let real funnyvideos go also cuz so many people know about us and maybe now know we are the original proprietors of the lindsay lohan.
A lot of that stuff was just stupid. The Catch That Ebaum one was addictive, but I can live without it. I think that some people just didn't get the fact that what they were doing was going to be held liable to the site. If the hosting site backs out because of legal problems, everyone will suffer. It just isn't worth it, guys.
Well played, Max. I only wish the internet community could come together like this more often. I'm glad that despite a few morons, most of ytmnd was intelligent enough to realize that this was no "war". I also hope that the term "World Wide Web War One" will forever have its "One" be completely unnecessary (whoever added that "One" should be forced to listen to Ashlee Simpson's singing for hours on end, since we shouldn't be wishing this to happen again). My faith in humanity actually exists because of all the positive things everybody here has managed to accomplish.
Face the facts, brothers. Ebaum didn't get pwnz0red by Max at all. Ebaum is a piece of sh*t, always and forever. He got his momentary comeuppance but rest assured he will be back at it again in no time, ripping off people and making money off it. That's why he'll always be universally hated and always be the target of Internet community scorn. The only legit way to get rid of him is convince communities to stop linking to him, stop supporting him, and drain his ad revenue. Until then, he's gonna be a dick and he'll keep f*cking everyone over.
Max simply outclassed him this time and bowed out of this with honor. It's the only cool thing to come out of this whole bullsh*t war.
