  4. Technoviking update

    If Matthias Frisch made a lot of money due primarily or wholly from a video that he took which featured ONLY a single person, then it is only right that the person is entitled to royalties. If the video (or videos) that Frisch took were compilations of multiple people, then he'd be less likely to have a case.

     

    The fact that he's asking to have the videos removed is just so that he can say he gave the other guy a choice, and seeing how unlikely it is that the videos can be removed, the person being sued is more likely to cave.

    You sound like an expert in German Law :)

     

     

    There's obviously money to be made.

    Never said that, just not a "hybrid" fan YET based on the stuff I've seen. Also, I think long run the entire energy crisis/planet eco status is going to be worse with all these batteries long term....but just my opinion...

     

    I think it's a very very valid concern and all too problematic that this concern rarely gets brought up, let alone addressed.

     

    Hopefully battery technology will evolve to the point where recyclability of old batteries will fix that problem....I haven't done enough research on this matter to speak intelligently about it so I won't argue the point for/against with any fervor

    Perhaps you all recall the man who became known as Technoviking. Dancing on a Berlin street in 2000 during the Berlin Fuckparade (:confused:?), he became an instant Internet celebrity. Now, it seems he wants to cash in. Technoviking, whose name has not been released, is suing Matthias Frisch, the maker of the video, demanding that all instances of the video be taken down from the Internet. If Fritsch doesn't comply, he could face a €250,000 (roughly $334,441 U.S.) fine and six months in prison

     

     

    On an overcast day at the Berlin Fuckparade in 2000, German artist Matthias Fritsch created a film that changed the Internet. As the denizens of the techno parade marched, Fritsch caught something extraordinary: a giant of a man who looked like he was ripped from Scandinavian mythology, dancing with wild robotic precision to a thumping techno beat.

     

    He became known as the "Technoviking," the accidental star of one of the biggest Internet memes of the 2000s and the subject of a thousand Internet remixes. Now the Technoviking is proving to be as ruthless in court as he is on the dancefloor.

    I find it rather funny and downright hyppocritical that the new NSX gets blasted for intending to use a hybrid drivetrain for the most part while it's the complete opposite for this Mclaren P1 (and the Ferrari Enzo successor)

     

     

    just my observation......Some people are always so resistant to inevitable change, selectively
