Ebaums world wrong?

About a year ago I used to go on the website Ebaumsworld. It was pretty funny, the games were fun, the videos were both funny cool and weird at the same time, and there were some prank calls I would listen to while I was playing something else. But one time I was on google, and I searched Ebaumsworld, but I got a couple of matchs at the top. The first two were both from ebaumsworld, but one came from an interesting site called www.ebaumsworldsucks.com.
I went onto that site instead, thinking it would be one ebaums haters site.
I learned about what the site was about, I watched the flash video, and read some threads on the forum. Now I knew what made Ebaumsworld a disgraceful site.

Have you seen the ebaumsworld watermark? Well they take any video or picture they find funny off the internet, take off all the original owners watermarks if they can, and the place their own watermark on it. Then they post it as theirs, and people laugh and say "Eric Bauman is such a witty guy!" while the original owner is basically being ripped off, because his video or picture is being exploited, and they dont even know who made it! So this angry flashmaker, photographer, etc tries to take Eric Bauman to court. Well, ever since he started making millions of his stolen flash and videos and stuff on his site, he has such good lawyers, that he as the Ebaumsworldsucks flash says, "He made the internet his b**** ".
So the original owner of the flash or video or etc, is screwed! He cant take him to court, because he would lose, if he messaged ebaumsworld to take it off, they would just laugh at him and say no, and if he tried posting on the forums, he would get banned. So if you put yourself into his shoes, you can see how angry he would get, because someone is stealing his work, and he cant do anything!

Ebaumsworld also has some sick videos. Like Goddess bunny. What angers me is that it is in the "Hilarious Video" section. Or the one where the guy eats his own feces.

So now, when you go on Ebaumsworld, know this.
Almost all of it is stolen work.

I've known about this for ages, So has much of the internet population. There was even a flash cartoon on Newgrounds about it made last June.

It may be old, but lots of people dont know yet. And I think the only way to bring down Ebaumsworld, is to let people know that there are good sites that dont steal their videos and such.
