Fabian, I don't need to sit at your keynote speech. I would definitely sit down over a beer though and hear what you have to say.
I hope your keynote address goes well. I have zero idea how you would have much to say that could actually be of any use. But then again...few of the people who have ever spoke at these things have said anything that made any money for anyone.
As far as you saying that the companies you bought were not crippled...well, all I have to say is: I'm not crippled. And because our site makes me great money consistenly I would not sell it to you for any amount of money.
The only people who sell are people who want out (for whatever reason). If their business is doing well (and we all know that piracy has fucked this industry) then they have no desire to sell because they will make more money over time than they would make selling.
You can tell me I'm wrong...but you won't convince me of anything. I know better. As does any businessman out there.
Of course you could over-pay a really healthy company and buy them for many times their worth, but we both know that you have not done that. You're not stupid.
Anyway, I hope you actually do stick to your guns and go head to head with .XXX and spend some of that money on some attorneys. And I do want you to win against them.
And when you get into my town in Jan. I'd love to say hello and chat for a minute. You'll just have to forgive me if I don't attend your big keynote address as I consider it to be the ultimate hypocrisy of our industry to have you being in an honored position of any sort.
