Silicon Valley Repo Man
from the reminds-me-of-a-movie... dept
Reminding me that I need to go rent and watch the classic movie Repo Man again, is a story about Silicon Valley repo men who, not surprisingly, have discovered that business is up again. Of course, they tend to go after new Porsches, BMWs, and Mercedes of the recently laid off dot commer, rather than a 1964 Chevy Malibu with something glowing in the trunk.
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.
–The Techdirt Team
