  You haven’t seen it much for a reason.

    That’s good to know, i will refrain from posting the video to respect this man’s privacy.

    Fucking legend though.

    The lawyer of the Techno Viking asserts that his client had never been a public figure and that he did not want to become one.

    His half naked client dancing in the middle of a busy street has a strange way of practicing his privacy.

      Existing in a public space during an event does not imply a desire to become a public figure.

        But such activity does not come with an expectation of privacy. I suspect the legal issue was the uploader profiting of it, but even then, don’t think that would fly in America?

        We gonna need a lawyer, stat!

        No, but unfortunately not wanting to become an internet sensation is not going to protect you from becoming one. I respect him for not wanting to be known, but none of us is in control of that. What we do in public may be seen and shared without us having a say in it.

    I mean, that’s more than reasonable. The video poster made over 13k in ad revenue and merch sales, against the person’s wishes. Imagine if someone made you go viral, and then sold merch with your name and face on it. It’s a privacy nightmare.

      That’s how facebook made hundreds of billions of dollars. This guy was a legit artist who got sucker-punched by the courts for not getting contracts signed by everyone in-frame.

      It should be one or the other not one for billionaires, zero for artists. But - whatever the German is for c’est la vie.
