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

      Fucking legend though.

      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.

      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.
