Yesterday I posted about Pirates of Silicon Valley. I was checking out Wired’s Blog, and found this interesting post:
The $5 Million Google Video
Question: Does Google know that the full movie “Pirates of Silicon Valley” is available on Google Video?Better Question: Does TNT (an AOL/Time Warner company) know?
Answer: Considering that the Google pirate of “Pirates…” has been viewed about 350,000 times, representing a loss of about $5 million in DVD sales (based on Amazon.com’s price of $14.49), I’m going to go out on a limb guess: No.
Cognitive Dissonance: While Google responds almost too quickly to take-down requests on YouTube, Google Video still hosts full-length movies for months at a time with nary a peep from anyone. Insanely great? Or greatly insane?
I would have never paid $14.49 to watch it anyways.
Oh and I watched it. I didnt really like it that much. It was interesting seeing how the thing I am typing on right now evolved. I dont really know the history of the whole thing, so I dont know how accurate it is. I felt it was a bit too over the top. If what happened was true, and legal, the Steve Jobs is not so smart after all. (hold it Apple fanboys/girls, watch the movie then respond, notice is said the word “If” )
I have a post in my drafts to respond to you’re “steve jobs is not so smart after all” comment..
I have the answer for the reason you think so and the movie was good.. whether you like it or not i7
it is quite accurate, but I really don’t think he was that mean.. just a tab bit egotistical.. i5
anyways. I see I’m rubbing of on you with the cognitive dissonance i7
ooosssshhhh kaify !
that doesnt take away from him being a visionary and a great business man
besides, i would have done what bill gates did, and i would told it to jobs’ face
