once the popularity of these videos soared, so did the legal mess...


This 4-minute video was shot by experimental video artist Matthias Fritsch at the ****parade in Berlin, on 8 July 2000.

Fritsch did not know the starring man.
A man who appeared in the 2009 "Bodybuilding" broadcast of the German television show segment Raab in Gefahr was assumed to be the Techno Viking in a YouTube upload. In 2008, fans claimed MMA fighter Keith Jardine was Techno Viking.

In 2009, (the viking) his lawyers sent a cease-and-desist letter to Fritsch, who immediately stopped taking payments from YouTube. Three years later, the Technoviking and his lawyer decided to sue Fritsch outright. Fritsch summarized the lawsuit as follows: "I am being accused for creation and publication of images connected to the Technoviking, therefore infringement of personality rights. They also say I am earning a lot of money by that. They argue that [I] gave him the name Technoviking, create 3D characters, comics and more to constantly increase the popularity in order to market Technoviking and therefore cause damage to the protagonist."

Very interesting doc., even if it was not well edited:)

Never realized TechnoViking absolutely despised any/everything about it... 'tis a shame because it will never go away AND because there's nothing negative about it.
