Max Keiser: “Google-Verizon Deal Will Boost Valuation of PirateMyfilm”

Posted on August 6, 2010 by maxkeiser| 87 Comments

I’ve been talking to my PMF investors today. It’s clear that crowd-funded and crowd-distributed (P2P) content on the web will be more important than ever now that Google is going the way of cable TV. Content that pays back viewers a piece of ad revenues – in exchange for having helped finance content – will suddenly take on a political imperative to go along with the economic appeal. We continue to develop the site – looking to scale up the model to handle the millions of people out there who feel suddenly disenfranchised by a predatory Google; people who want to be a part of something revolutionary.

    @maxkeiser

    Can you please elaborate more on this? I don’t understand how this news of Google-Verizon could be a benefit to the little people.

  2. swell | August 6, 2010 at 8:31 pm |

    Too bad the “IMAX” name is already taken, PMF.

    Google denied having a “deal”, not that there haven’t been conceptual negotiations re Verizon. But there have been documented heated reactions:

    http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=102&topic_id=4493086&mesg_id=4493278

    The Internet is largely a cooperative effort through volunteerism. The intent of fascism to co-opt the Internet for complete commercialization threatens some loathsome teratology, some monster creation like from H. G. Wells’ Island of Doctor Moreau.

    Just how much of our seed corn will the elite’s devour? Cf. the following two links:

    Mongolian Hip Hop Nazis http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/aug/02/mongolia-far-right

    But with their high cheekbones, dark eyes and brown skin, they are hardly the Third Reich’s Aryan ideal. A new strain of Nazism has found an unlikely home: Mongolia.

    Though Tsagaan Khass leaders say they do not support violence, they are self-proclaimed Nazis. “Adolf Hitler was someone we respect. He taught us how to preserve national identity,” said the 41-year-old co-founder, who calls himself Big Brother.

    Hip hop tracks such as Don’t Go Too Far, You Chinks by 4 Züg – chorus: “shoot them all, all, all” – have been widely played in bars and clubs.

Added value for the neurones ? Less than zero. Each time I open the TV by accident, my brain freezes. By the way I don’t have cable and do not intend buying HDTV and giving them my eyes and my brain for their fuckin publicity and their crappy dead meat shows. I settled the thing a long time ago for fuckin Hollywood too. Documentaries are my drug. That and films not made in USA.

    @What-you-worry — Deagle: I know almost nothing about him… I don’t have much time for Camelot or Rense (etc), not ’cause it’s not interesting stuff, but because they usually ask you to take their extraordinary claims on faith… vague unverifiable sources, etc.

    But I seem to recall that Deagle got in on the “explosive methane tsunami” Gulf meme — which the epic nutbar Richard Hoagland introduced on Coast-to-Coast…

    So what’s the deal with Dr Deagle, anyway?

    @TC: Dr Deagle’s bottom line seems to me to be sink or swim on a concious level i.e. do your thang to nurture a beautiful future. Which, I guess, procludes whippin up a tornado of fear and anxiety amplified by individuals who, collectively by volume, corollate seemingly random but often well sequenced information provided by the designers of the turmoil itself to effectively build a consensus of opinion and thus manifest a pre-ordained future. Bit like we’re doing/not doing now.
