That literally covers all streaming platforms. Go after Netflix lol good luck. Also YouTube? Also basically the fucking internet? Like what the fuck?

Apparently it's not the Rothschild family but an independent patent troll based in NY?

Its not an independent patent troll that is different from the guy named Rothschild.

Is the guy named Rothschild a member of /the/ Rothschild family?

I am not 100% certain of that, but I am certain that the guy named Rothschild and the patent troll in NY are the same thing.

... Somewhat strangely, despite there literally being a https://leighmrothschild.com/ where he glazes the fuck out of hinself... there isn't very much publically available info about the guy.

The rich guy, who just lost a lawsuit because he / his legal representatives confidently lied and provided false information to a judge.

Who prefers the term 'patent accumulator'.

The guy who has a personal website that says:

Rothschild leads a well-rounded life, pursuing a variety of personal interests that reflect his multifaceted personality. He has a deep passion for traveling, exploring new cultures, and broadening his global perspective. Whether it's visiting remote destinations or experiencing the world's most iconic landmarks, Rothschild's love for adventure fuels his creativity and sense of curiosity.

"I am a well rounded person and my real passion is travelling."

... Uh... huh... yeah....

Apparently he got his undergrad degree at the University of Miami in 73, was born in 1952... and... managed to get his first patent in 73 as well.

How many people have the resources/connections to get a patent while doing their college education, by age 21?

Not saying he didn't, I am saying that sure seems like he's had connections and money from a young age.

I can't explicitly tie him to /the/ Rothschild family, not with just 30 minutes of searching.

But he certainly is one of the most obnoxiously arrogrant, blue-blooded asshats I've ever encountered, and... I had a few econ and poli sci professors that regularly attended CFR meetings, or took a sabbatical from working at Goldman Sachs and Black Rock to work as a finance professor, shit like that.

You can argue whatever you want, the actual common definition of a patent troll is what I described, a person/entity that did not invent, but owns or purchases or otherwise legally acquires as many patents as they can, then goes around trying to sue or legally threaten people they claim are using it... as a form of making money for themselves.

Patent trolls operate much like any other company that is protecting and aggressively exploiting a patent portfolio. However, their focus is on obtaining additional money from existing uses, not from seeking out new applications for the technology.

The fact stands that you in your original comment just broadly described basically the entire concept of patents and patent law existing... as a specific subset of activity enabled by that system.

Which you described as 'not completely negative'.

No, it is completely negative, it is a form of parasitic wealth accumulation only available to the wealthy, and it only has negative effects for everyone other than the patent troll.

You can just make up a new colloquial meaning and sure, that's valid in the sense that the meanings of words change overtime... but like, this is specific, technical/legal/academic term with specific meaning.

There’s a lot you can say about Valve and Gaben. But I dunno man between this and the Linux gaming as of late, not bad.

I was just asking if he was related because I wasn't sure he was related to Those Rothschilds. I tried to Google it because I was curious and came up with nothing.

I wasn't doubting that his name was Rothschild though. Still, added context is added context, so thank you again.

Between offshore banks, shell companies, their own private trusts and the attorney client privilege that protects them they can hide their true wealth, thats how the mega rich do shit. Away of the eyes of an average persons ability to concretely know whats going on there.

That there is a list of people that don't do that very well (or just don't want to be bothered to go through all that extra effort when they really just don't have so much to gain from obscuring their wealth to that degree)

But really you seem to know (and CARE) so much about the Rothschild's, so it does beg the question.

Why do you even care enough to defend them here? Like I know why I dont. They are at the center of or, at very least, concerningly involved with, every major social and economic upset in my country for the last 200 years or more. For profit and power fantasy playing mostly based on the information available

(But also lots of Epstein-like weird shit. Like that I can do anything and because I'm interconnected with power groups, because Im so wealthy, I can pay people to do almost everything I want to (including manipulate, threaten and/or torture and kill people on their behalf) and also I'm so interconnected to all these powerful people that I'm basically untouchable and ungovernable and am permitted by governments because the public can't know how it works out there, now i can do almost whatever to almost whoever unless but I'm digressing too much from the point)

Never heard anyone defend anyones honor like this without a heck of a reason. So let's hear it or fuck off with what appears to be, a disingenuous and half-assed commentary to derail the conversation away from that exact thing. Possibly deliberately.

Such as when a PR firm gets hired to defend someones reputation due to say... a certain lawsuit that's getting their family some bad press and/or negative attention and would be getting paid to accomplish

Between the new banking regulations, shell companies, trusts and attorney client privilege they can hide their true wealth and thats how the mega rich do that. Away of the eyes of the common persons ability to even know what’s up

So, basically, you don't have any evidence. Weird how you keep obsessing about them. Why do they scare you so much?

Why do you even care enough to defend them right now?

You do realize that I'm calling them has-beens.

They are at the center of, or at least concerningly involved with, every major social upset in my country for the last 200 years.

Let me guess, no evidence for any of this?

Never heard anyone defend anyones honor like this without a heck of a reason.

I spent maybe 10 minutes on all my replies in this thread, total. Kinda reflects poorly on you that you consider this a monumental effort.

So let’s hear it or fuck off with what appears to be, at this point, disingenuous and half-assed commentary to derail the conversation away from that whole concept here

Talking about the Rothschilds in a discussion about the Rothschilds is "derailing", apparently. Weird assessment.

So your argument is that you are unintelligent... Interesting defense

Evidence is abounding

Also good non answer on why you even comment at all, it does require motivation but you are obviously disguising as just some guy who happens knows a ton about them but won't say why and is just wanting everyone to know how has-been they are now apparently, again without any actual reason lmao

Your not discussing anything honestly, your just derailing and trolling which is PR and Marketing firms 101 for comment farms and paid bots and it just so HAPPENS your following that pattern too. Must be a coincidence there as well.

Lots of that with you rn, weird eh?

As pointed out that is a deliberate effort your making and needs to have a motivation to support it (that you seem super uninterested in answering anything about)

Your[sic] not discussing anything honestly, your[sic] just derailing and trolling which is PR and Marketing[sic] firms 101 for comment farms and paid bots and it just so HAPPENS your[sic] following that pattern too[sic]. Must be a coincidence there as well.

Do I need to remind you that the title of this thread mentions the Rothschilds by name?

common Valve W

Thank you for sharing.

But with steam we can still wish for more, a DRM-free licenses push would be very welcome but not gonna happen if we dont be vocal as their kings in "customer is king" philosophy
