Limewire Now Owns The Rights To Fyre Festival #fyrefestival #limewire #randomasitgets

NBC News: LimeWire acquires Fyre Festival, asking ‘What Could Possibly Go Wrong?’. “LimeWire, the filesharing service that set the internet ablaze in the 2000s before being shut down for copyright infringement, said Tuesday that is acquiring the rights to Fyre Festival. And it appreciates the irony.”

A little update on the Fyre Festival Fiasco.
After the original Fyre festival fell apart, organiser Billy McFarland served four years for fraud. Fresh out of jail, Billy unveiled "Fyre Festival 2" which promptly flopped and was "indefinitely postponed".
So Billy auctioned the Fyre Festival brand, including its "trademarks, IP, digital assets, media reach, and cultural capital" (sic!).
A company called LimeWire paid $245,300 for the package. This is not the early 2000s file-sharing LimeWire but another outfit which bought the original brand and turned it into a marketplace for NFTs.
So a cryptobro company which sells NFTs bought the rights to a festival which is synonymous with bad organisation.
Serves them right.

Hmmm. Fyre 2 was due to start on May 30th in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico.
Once again Billy McFarland has failed to get his act together & no venue has been secured in Mexico.So the festival has been "postponed" while the boys try to secure another venue... in another country.
I wonder how many people bought tickets costing from $1,400 to $25,000? Plus there are eight “Prometheus God of Fyre” $1m packages, for suckers only.
Fool me once...

Fyre Fest 2 Already Seems Like a Scam

I know better than to underestimate the stupidity of people, but even then: who would buy tickets for Fyre 2? Everyone knows by now what a total scam and shit show Fyre is. But then again Trump also got reelected. Clearly there’s no cure for stupid.
