I was unfortunate enough to get into a contract with this snake a few years ago, along with his equally sneaky VP, Lou Kerner. If either of these guys resurface from the goo, hang on to your wallet! strongorbit, I 100% agree.

A functioning marketplace needs to develop for the online content economy - the current default to litigation is a deathnell for future growth.

They had approached me a few years ago about a site I had so when this came across the rss All I could think was thank goodness I didn't do it. I wonder how this will effect the other sites they own. Assuming they will go bye bye. Wow. They had approached me a few years ago about a site I had so when this came across the rss All I could think was thank goodness I didn’t do it.

Wasn't bolt a video/image sharing site with a social network bolted onto it?
