Ebaumsworld policy of "tell us if you want your stuff removed and we'll do so", would equate to in real life copying a famous painting without the artists knowledge and then showing it as your own, with a very small next to it saying that if you are the artist contact us and we'll remove it. Most of the time the original artist won't even know that his stuff has been copied though...

I wouldn't be surprised if sooner or later a lawsuit grows out of this whole thing...both against ebaumsworld for stealing and against those who visited its headquarters and hacked it for not choosing the right response.

A short timeline of things:
-eBaum's site features works from FARK, Something Awful, YTMND, SEGA, Newgrounds and others. -the aforementioned complain -eBaum's site censores all links that connect to other sites of similar type(Newgrounds, Something Awful, etc.) -eBaum's site browses through it's members' names, and bans anyone who has an account on the aforementioned -Something Awful contacts eBaum to remove works that belong to Something Awful members -eBaum gives Something Awful the finger -Something Awful sends a Cease and Desist request, which is granted -eBaum ignores it, is modified to attack Something Awful with DDoS attacks firstly, PoDs later on -Something Awful calls authorities, the authorities are clueless -World Wide Web War One breaks out
