EbaumsWorld and USA Networks

I was reading some news today, and found an article about Ebaum's World making a deal with USA Networks for a TV Show, I have sent an e-mail to USA Networks, below is the exact e-mail I sent:



I would like to inform you that I will not be watching the USA Network, nor anything that USA Networks sells because of this Deal revolving EabaumsWorld and the USA Networks. Article here: http://www.ebaumsworld.com/ebaumsworld-usanetwork.html.


"In its television incarnation, EBAUM’S WORLD will bring the most shocking and extreme content to late night programming in a fast-paced, irreverent hour of outrageous clips, jokes and commentary. The show will feature clips from the website as well as new, exclusive content, and interviews with past and new EbaumsWorld video subjects who will be asked to account for their outlandish behavior -- if they dare."


Ebaumsworld infringes on copyrighted material. They do not have any of their own copyrighted material. They take other people's items, and claims for the material to be their own, and then refuses to remove the material if requested. Therefore, this type of action is intolerable and I will not be supporting any network that supports this type of behavior.


It is disappointing that a company like USA Networks would engage in infringing on copyrighted material. I will not be surprised when EbaumsWorld's TV Shows end up on the internet, and I will not be surprised if EbaumsWorld material is available on the internet via illegal downloading websites. When this happens, it will be justified comeuppance for Ebaumsworld.


It's too bad, because I would occassionally watch USA Networks.... their loss
