Title: Bankrupted TechnoViking filmaker now taking Bitcoin donations
Post by: xhomerx10 on February 14, 2016, 04:28:15 AM
 I'm sure many of you have heard of TechnoViking - it became an internet meme.  I watched and shared it with many; it was entertaining and the ensuing parodies were hilarious.  The main protagonist in the video hired a lawyer some 9 years after its original release which was about 2 years after the video have been copied from Matthias Fritsch's website and posted to YouTube.  Anyway, Matthias was bankrupted by the legal defense costs and has created a free documentary entitled "The Story of Technoviking (http://technoviking.tv/)" which he has made available for free on the internet since Oct 15, 2015.  He asks for donations to help him out of his financial woes and you can do it with Bitcoin.

  Read about it and watch the video here (http://technoviking.tv/)
Bitcoin donations accepted here (http://technoviking.tv/donate-bitcoin/)

I was somewhat shocked to find out about the court case.  It's also intriguing that Techno Viking remains anonymous even though millions of people saw his image and he initiated a court case over his personality rights in Germany.

This is so strange.  Not even so much as a comment...
Maybe most people on this board aren't old enough to have heard of Technoviking in the first place?
Oh well.  I'll lock the thread.
