eBaumsWorld dot com Sucks (Yes Eric Bauman, this means *You*)

You may have read in any one of quite a few places why eBaumsWorld sucks. There have been forum invasions, DoS attacks and nasty name-calling, but what's this really all about? In case you've been living under a rock for the past year, picture this:

Imagine you're a budding artist, or a musician, or maybe a Flash user. You release a piece of work on your website, maybe making it a showcase so that people come to visit your site and see your other stuff. You submit it to Google, maybe a few forums and people start trickling in, then BAM - your work appears on eBaumsWorld without your permission, and suddenly people are sending his link arouns, not yours. In the meantime, Eric Bauman rakes in thousands of dollars per day in advertising and you don't see squat. That's why eBaumsWorld sucks.

If you have work on eBaumsWorld and you want it removed, you're actually supposed to email Eric Bauman and ask him to remove the offending file. In reality, this doesn't do shit because Eric has more money than you, and he and everyone at eBaumsWorld basically don't give a f*ck.

Currently, SomethingAwful.com is compiling a list of stolen content which they intend to submit to eBaumsWorld requesting said content's removal.

I've added a few more subdomains to my base URL:

• Lotto.results.web.com
• Lotto.Extra.results.web.com
• Thunderball.results.web.com
• Daily.Play.results.web.com
• HotPicks.results.web.com
• EuroMillions.results.web.com

That should help things along nicely.
