"The Story of Technoviking" is a case study on a successful Internet meme. It shows the contemporary situation where user's sharing & remix behavior gets into conflict with more than 100 years old intellectual property and personality laws that define the limits.

What do you do, when once you danced half naked in front of a camera in the middle of the street and years later the world creates itself a hero out of this video? Is it a blessing or a curse if people start warshiping your image while others sell T-shirts with your face?

Ah, technoviking, missed that meme. I think the problem is intellectual property and privacy laws have not caught up with the explosion of the Internet and the ease with which one can create content.

It's really an interesting case of a video going viral and the following spotlight he never asked for. Still, all things considered, he was pretty lucky. It's a pretty positive and idolizing meme.

I'm still kind of upset that he never made it into Weezer's Pork and Beans video. How can you "not find" someone like this?
