Justice has come
Mr. Bauman (ebaumsworld.com) himself actually got fired from his own website. Since he sold the name of it as well to the new parent company they are still keeping the old name, so most will never realize that he's not in charge anymore. He actually blogged about it on his new website: http://blog.ebaum.tv/2009/01/so-this-is-how-it-all-went-down.html

I think it's great that someone who stole content from every other site for ten years and watermarked it as his own finally had the same thing happen to him. This is long overdue, as far as I'm concerned.

The comments there are the best. He and his team were probably expecting sympathy but 90% of them are overjoyed at their departure.

I can't read the comments with a straight face. So many people are just laying into him that it's hilarious. That level of hatred is pretty rare on the Internet. I don't know if he himself wrote it or not but I'm sure he'd agree with it even if he didn't.

I wouldn't think that the hatred and harassment would be worth it at all. It just takes a certain kind of personality to not be phased by it I guess. Maybe online if you can hide behind a fake persona and not one that's derived from your real name.
