What a great message.
I never liked ebaums, but all these idiots at my school think that it's the only good flash site on the internet. I hate how he just rips people's flash off. That dick.
The song was good, and well written too. The animation was satisfactory. Good job overall.
well said
read your post on SA about how trapezoid wrote this in like 24 hours - BADASS. the lyrics are very coherent and smooth, and also of course, pretty effin funny. great animation, great song.
Catchy AND Informing!
Makes me wanna take up tap dancing! My hopes for ebaums world were lost with the space people. I'm with you on this one.
yes!!
kick his ass Lowtax!
Nice flash, interesting message
First, the animation itself.
That is probably the catchiest song I've ever heard. I can't get it out of my head. Huge props for that. The animation was simplistic and nothing too complicated, but used very effectively, very much avoiding getting in the way of the true beauty of the piece, the music. Character design was amusing as well. Over all, not a perfect piece, but one definately capable of standing its ground.
As for the message:
Personally, I never visited Ebaums before I saw this flash. I was aware of its existence, but I just never bothered to type in the address and look at it. And now, after watching the flash, I have ironically spent several hours watching video clips from it. I admit I feel a little dirty.
As I have no definative proof as to whether or not 90% of the sites content is in fact stolen, I can't exactly accept that figure at face value. However, I do know that some, if not most, of the flash featured is there without the author's consent. Weebl, for example, has a link to your site on his front page as we speak, and his work is certainly featured on Ebaums. Plus, the story about malicious script eating somethingaweful's bandwidth is downright disgusting. So count me in on your side.
I do have a question. What about other similar sites, like albinoblacksheep? They feature a very similar menu of flash content, and are much less clear as to exactly how they aquired said flash (as opposed to a site like newgrounds, where authors directly submit their content and any stolen or "borrowed" work is removed). Are these sites also as guilty as ebaums?
From my experience with albinoblacksheep is that it is submitted my the owners at least most fo the time.
