Venture Capitalists Suing Philip Greenspun
from the get-over-it dept
If you haven't been following the discussion over at Slashdot about the Ars Digita/Philip Greenspun/Venture Capitalist lawsuit, here's a summary from the Boston Globe. Basically, Greenspun is trying to take back control of the company. He lost control when he took venture capital money. It seems the VCs are on the right side of the law here, and Greenspun should have read any number of articles/books out there about what happens when you take venture capital money.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
