== History of ownership == |
|||
The site was created by a cunt. |
|||
eBaum's World originated in [[Rochester, New York]], featuring entertainment media such as [[video]]s, [[Adobe Flash]] [[cartoon]]s, and [[browser game|web games]]. The site was created and owned by Eric "eBaum" Bauman and his father, Neil. In August 2007, eBaum's World was acquired by HandHeld Entertainment, also known as ZVUE Corporation, for $15 million up front, $2.5 million in HandHeld stock, and up to $52.5 million in cash and stock over 3 years.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://mashable.com/2007/08/02/ebaumsworld/|title=eBaum's World Sells for $17.5 Million|last=Cashmore|first=Pete|date=August 2, 2007|website=Mashable}}</ref> |
|||
On January 31, 2009, Bauman and the company's staff were terminated by ZVUE and the company moved to the San Francisco ZVUE offices. As of 2016, the Israel-based company Literally Media held a controlling stake of eBaum's World.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.seattletimes.com/business/technology/cheezburgers-new-owner-is-israeli-digital-media-company/|title=Cheezburger's new owner is Israeli digital-media company|last=Lerman|first=Rachel|date=April 21, 2016|website=Seattle Times}}</ref> |

==Controversy== |
|||
eBaum's World has garnered significant controversy in many Internet communities over the years due to numerous accusations of content being taken from other sites without attribution, especially from websites such as [[YTMND]], [[Something Awful]], [[Albino Blacksheep]] and [[Newgrounds]]. Companies such as [[Viacom]] [http://www.courttv.com/news/cow/022603_prankcalls_ctv.html] [http://web.archive.org/web/20021115120705/www.ebaumsworld.com/legalsoundboards.html], [[20th Century Fox]] [http://web.archive.org/web/20050303004436/www.ebaumsworld.com/grapefall-legal.html], and [[Sega]] have all claimed that Eric and [[Neil Bauman]] have infringed on their copyrights. Eric Bauman denies critics' claims that the site's content is stolen, citing research done by site editors and the consent form that must accompany uploads of material. He claims to honor all requests to remove unauthorized material [http://www.ebaumsworld.com/response-01-10-05.html], but this is contested by some content creators, In particular, web artist and animator [[Jonti Picking]], ("Weebl", creator of the [[Badger Badger Badger]] animations) was only able to have his animations removed at the beginning of [[2006]]. [http://www.ebaumsworld.com/flash/santabadger.html] Bauman has claimed that he formerly worked with Picking, though Picking has stated that this is false. [http://www.ebaumsworldsucks.com/chatlog.php] [http://www.ebaumsworldsucks.com/archives/5-Examples-of-Eric-Baumans-hypocrisy-and-lies..html#extended] |

eBaum's World is owned and operated by Literally Media, which also owns [[I Can Has Cheezburger?|Cheezburger]], [[Know Your Meme]], and [[Cracked.com]]. |
|||
Due to the unpopularity of the website in various communities, links to eBaum's have been filtered on various forums that have yet to come into conflict with eBaum's. On some forums instead of the members commenting on the link that has been posted they post ebaumsworldsucks.com link or insult Eric Bauman. Users can end up being [[flamed]] by users or even banned.[http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=447420][http://agora.rpgclassics.com/showthread.php?t=26395][http://forums.flurl.com/showthread.php?t=149][http://www.utorrent.com/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=28273][http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=680548] |

A web site, [http://www.ebaumsworldsucks.com eBaumsWorldSucks.com], has been set up by [[Newgrounds]]/[[Something Awful]] supporters [[Neil Cicierega]] (Lemon Demon), [[Shawn Vulliez]] (AltF4), and Abi Rendon (LegalCondom, a former eBaum's World employee), in order to document the ongoing controversy between content creators and eBaum's World. The site hosts a page containing statements from content creators claiming that some of their works appear on eBaum's World without permission. The site also details cases in which eBaum's World has allegedly taken bandwidth and launched [[denial of service]] attacks on other sites.

On [[February 23]], [[2006]], Michael Parker, an eBaum's World representative appeared on [[G4]]'s ''[[Attack of the Show]]'', during which [[Kevin Pereira]] asked him explicit questions about the alleged infringing.

* In January 2006, an animated image titled "[[Lindsay Lohan]] Doesn't Change Facial Expressions" was lifted from YTMND.com and posted at eBaum's World with the latter site's watermark superimposed.

Lerner and Becker used the MochiBot Flash tracking tool to track who used the animation on their web sites. Lerner also explained that the Flash animation is legally protected under the [[Digital Millennium Copyright Act]] of 1998. Furthermore, when the Flash animation was posted on eBaum's World, it had been decompiled and the line "Hosted on albinoblacksheep.com" was removed. On June 9, Bauman sent Becker a $250 check as well as entering him into a monthly "contest" (of which Becker was the [[de facto]] winner) in hopes of having any legal charges dropped. Becker was also told to submit a pre-written statement claiming that none of eBaum's World's content was stolen, and that Bauman had contacted him prior to his content being posted on the site.

eBaum's World is an entertainment website owned by Literally Media. The site was founded in 2001 and features comedy content such as memes, viral videos, images, and other forms of Internet culture. Content is primarily user submitted in exchange for points through a monetary point system "eBones."
History of ownership
eBaum's World originated in Rochester, New York, featuring entertainment media such as videos, Adobe Flash cartoons, and web games. The site was created and owned by Eric "eBaum" Bauman and his father, Neil. In August 2007, eBaum's World was acquired by HandHeld Entertainment, also known as ZVUE Corporation, for $15 million up front, $2.5 million in HandHeld stock, and up to $52.5 million in cash and stock over 3 years.[1]
On January 31, 2009, Bauman and the company's staff were terminated by ZVUE and the company moved to the San Francisco ZVUE offices. As of 2016, the Israel-based company Literally Media held a controlling stake of eBaum's World.[2]
eBaum's World is owned and operated by Literally Media, which also owns Cheezburger, Know Your Meme, and Cracked.com.
Features
The site features individual celebrity soundboards, where users can click buttons to hear quotes or phrases spoken by the celebrity. There is a chat room, a store on which eBaum merchandise are put on sale and a section called Moron Mail featuring feedback sent in by users. The site also featured a message board, which existed until 2019. Bauman still operates a board created right after his termination by ZVUE. The forum was named sbaumsworld in tribute to Bauman's history at the eBaum's World.
Copyright infringement and controversy
eBaum's World has garnered controversy due to numerous incidents of content being taken from other sites (such as YTMND, Something Awful, Albino Blacksheep, 4chan, Olde English, Weebl's Stuff, and Newgrounds) without attribution. Companies such as Viacom[3] have claimed that eBaum's World has infringed on their copyrights. The site denied critics' claims, citing research done by site editors and the consent form that must accompany uploads of material. eBaum's World claimed to honor all requests to remove unauthorized material.[4]
