I'm pretty sure that was on Newgrounds before YTMND.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't since I never submitted it to Newgrounds. The only place I submitted it was to YTMND. Anywhere else you see it online is taken from there.

Oh wait you made it...nevermind thought I saw something like this on Newgrounds beofre.

it's probably on just about every flash site though

:(

Asshats indeed.

First hit in a google search: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fAr0FEefPU Is this your posting?

Nope. Never posted it on youtube or anywhere else. I'm well aware it's on youtube (several times actually, if you do enough digging you can actually see me comment a couple times on one of the posting) but that doesn't bug me - it's just some kid who found it on myspace and uploaded it to youtube since they liked it. What bothers me is commercial video-whoring sites like Collegeslackers using my video (fugly.com has it too actually) and surrounding it by ads for profit

Uhhh, if it's on YouTube, it's quite likely they didn't "steal it from ytmnd". Just something to think about. You either do what Viacom does and sue everybody, or you do what copyleft does and let it go...

I see what you're getting at - but if you run a professional site that hosts videos for profit, you've got a responsibility to at least see where those videos came from, and in this case it's not hard to track it back to YTMND and me, which is why I say "stolen from YTMND". I don't want legal threats, or raids, or any of that juvenile stuff - that makes me just as bad as them. I just wanted to say, "hey, collegeslackers.com: You stole my stuff. F*ck you."

oh no, eric bauman now owns two sites!

No raid? :(

porno

RRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(or not)

I blame the schools...

Damn those college fools

And yet I'll bet pounds to pennies you've downloaded music illegally at some point in your life, atomicbolt.

-1

Downloading music isn't illegal in Canada :D

Neither is stealing your ytmnd. CHECKMATE

+1

It shouldn't be illegal anywhere imo

-1

yeah it's pretty much all over the Internet, where have you been? anyway 5 for pink panther theme and it sucks that it got used without your consent

this is fargin' war

-1

So? Sue them. You have already wasted precious time!

-1

I think that's why Money-Hat tags a lot of his gifs with his initials.

-1

Maybe you guys should start copyrighting your movies, you know, so you can do something about it legally and have these stealing moneywhore jerks like ebaums shut down.

-2

APRIL FOOLS

I liked that flash you made.. still, don't make ytmnds about this crap, write about it or take action.

+1

sorry :( I had no place to write it, and I was just pissed at them. Not trying to start a whole "thing"

+2

f.uck you BTape, you tosser. get a fu.cking life you hypocrite.

-4

true story. make a presentation proving it was yours, and then send it to them. if you ask YouTube to take it down with similar proof, they will. don't complain here, its a waste of my time.

5 because Connery giving the finger cracked my *ss up

lol cracked your ass. I get it!

Welcome to the internet.

Sue them...

RAID!!!!

adverb, 1 star

uh....who friggin' cares?

a raid is in order

-2

HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN TO MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!?

-1

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIID!!!! No?

-1

who cares, no on egoes to CS anyway

"if you run a professional site that hosts videos for profit, you've got a responsibility to at least see where those videos came from" I think, actually, that's a lot to ask of a site. I'm not defending them (I actually hate sites like that) but I'm just curious how you think they'd find you when the video is both all over the internet and not watermarked. How were they supposed to tell between your "official" ytmnd post and the many, many YouTube, Myspace, etc posts.

Also, imagine if max had to track down everything that got posted here. At some point, this stuff is just anonymous virtual clutter. The problem I have with a site like that is that they make money off of crap you can find in a forum signature. Like those sites that advertise "viral video" on Myspace. Ugh.

raid lolol

-1

raid... RAID

-1

make them remember they day they dare steal from ytmnd.

-2

real life college slackers suck as well.

-2

I think the quality of the original clip (one of the best things I've seen at YTMND) merits a raid, yes?

-1

WOULD YOU LIKE SOME CHEESE WITH YOUR WHINE?

+2

KILL THEM!!!!

-2

This sh*t is getting really lame.

-1

Wow, bastards.

heres your 5 ill be on my way now

stingraids in the pool ?

It's popular, sure that site sucks but once something catches on thats how it always goes, just be happy people are still watching it after all this time even if they are *ssh*les who visit collegeslackers.com.

-1

emo oranges existed before you.

-1

i hate college sites, the videos are rarely funny and most of the time it copied material

+1

well, they are slackers after all

Then do something about it, you probably could have gotten a lot accomplished during the time that you spent making this

You don't own any rights, you haven't got copyright on it, you haven't got any sort of protection against the use and copying of it. In fact, if you try to fight this, you are liable to legal action. EPIC FAIL.

-3

Try again, amateur lawyer: I may not hold it as a trademark, however as the creator I DO hold it as intellectual property, and as such it's illegal for an outside party to distribute it for profit without my consent

+4

Internets is serious business

There needs to be a logo thats like " IF your not watching this on YTMND.com you can go suck a dick" or something like that

So? I bet you'll find CollegeSlackers sh*t here, too.

Dude, I know this sucks but you can't let that punk *ss f*ggots bouquet piss you off. Sure, those worthless pieces of sh*t will make some money for a year or maybe two, but when people get tired of visiting their dumb f*cking site and they need to take it down and realise they're a waste of carbon and they can't do anything else that's constructive, the two dollars they made off your sh*tty little flash won't nearly compensate. You just need to do your thing and not let some dumb f*cks make you cry.

This is the nicest thePlease comment i've ever seen. Inspirational.

thePlease is just like our helpful advice giving aunt sally, only with more curse words and less hugs.

Man, Emo Orange got Bauman'd. Boooooo.

Well that's a damned shame. I remember when one of my pr0n fanfics was stolen and put on a pay-to-view site. F*ckers.

Why didn't you link to your original anywhere in the video if you're going to bitch about this? emoorangesmovie.ytmnd.com - there, see that helps. BTW, the real life one was way funnier: http://orangestory.ytmnd.com/

I smell a raid of some sort

-1

People can not steal from each other. We should only give. Give love, friendship and understanding. This is wrong. I hope this madness will come to an end. I believe something good will come out of it all. Peace is within our grasp.

Any particular reason why Connery is a cross-eyed Asian? 4'd your information, you have my support if a raid is necessary.

another steal? noooooooooooooooooo

5 FOR THEPLEASE BEING CARING < 3

Direct stealing for profit is unjustifiable and should be made public everytime it happens. Plus, I like Pink Panther.

5'd for great justice

PWN. Raid much needed.

I agree.

Me too. We should do a raid.

YESYES!

I think that you're acting more emo than that little orange you apparantly made.

-1

but how can a pink-colored panther help us???

oh crap, not another raid

Omg, could you cry any harder? Here's some tissue...

-2

epic crybaby maneuver

-2

REVENGE!

I approve of the panther.

F*ck thieves!

so effing what. I made a little movie file that somebody hi-jacked, made into a ytmnd.....which put YTMND on the national news media. Didn't bother me none.

so what

WHEN IS THE RAID?!

FOR JUSTICE

syncan stole all his sites from me , and i didn't turn into an orange

i only 5'ed this cos of the drawing of Sean Connery that looks like a wobbly retard

*gives Bolt a c00kie*

F*CKING YARRRRRR

WAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

two quick facts: 1) I waste an obsene amount of time on the internets. 2) I've never heard of Collegeslackers
