Why Else Is Fanning In The News?
from the behind-the-Napster dept
David writes "It looks like MTV has purchased the exclusive rights to Shawn Fannings life story. They intend to produce a film on the subject, with the writers and exec producers already in place (including fanning as a producer). Plus, rumors are that Fanning will be starting his own record label. Fame makes the world go around." I guess this goes well with the interview with Fanning we posted yesterday.
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
