eBaum's Worl (subtitled "Media for the masses") is a website featuring media such as videos, Flash cartoons and web games. It is highly controversial for many reasons, primarily because content on the website is taken from other sources without permission and rebranded with the eBaum's World logo. The site, which was originally co-owned by Eric "eBaum" Bauman and his father, Neil Bauman, of Rochester, New York, ranks in the top 1000 sites on the Internet according to the website Alexa. On August 2, 2007, eBaum's World was acquired by HandHeld Entertainment in a complex deal involving stock and $15 million in cash.
