    Olbermann Watch, "persecuting" Keith since 2004


    August 5, 2007
    Olbermann's Future Father-in-Law (?) and YouTube

    Esquire magazine has a profile of one Robert Tur, father of one Katy Tur, the 23-year young girlfriend of one 48-year old Keith Olbermann. Tur is an award-winning photojournalist and helicopter pilot, perhaps best known for his footage of the Reginald Denny beating and being the first to spot O.J. Simpson's white Ford Bronco in the infamous "slow-speed" chase. But Tur it seems has decided to sue Google, parent-company of YouTube for airing his copyrighted footage of these events without his permission, and more importantly, without paying him for it first.

    Over the years, he estimates, the Denny tape has generated about $5 million in licensing fees. But Tur has spent almost an equal amount filing lawsuits to protect his content. Tur became the first person to sue YouTube for copyright infringement.Tur wants YouTube shuttered until its parent company, Google, can guarantee his videos and other copyrighted content won't reappear after being taken down.

    Does Keith Olbermann know about this? Because you see, Keith is a big YouTube fan. Last November, in an interview with the San Francisco Gate, Olbermann had the following to say about YouTube:

    Olbermann isn't just getting more viewers. He's getting more views -- lots and lots more. It may have been the Rumsfeld piece that struck a nerve. Captured on YouTube, it was e-mailed all over the country and watched again and again. A month after it appeared on "Countdown,'' it had been seen more than 100,000 times. "I was told that this thing was flying all around to various places,'' he says. "To hear that as many, if not more, people were seeing it there than had seen it in the original was amazing.''

    But Keith's girlfriend's daddy (who by the way, is younger than Olby), wants to shut down Olby's (and everyone else's) airings of copyrighted material on YouTube. Coincidence? Hmm. We think not!

    When I saw that Google bought YouTube for $1.65 billion, I was dumbfounded! Why would Google get into bed with thieves? They've built a huge audience on the backs of copyright holders -- and then they say I have to monitor them? Someone has to stand up against this piracy."

    But Tur it seems, has a history of filing lawsuits:

    Even in an industry as lawsuit happy as entertainment, Tur is an extraordinarily litigious man. He has devoted years bringing copyright-infringement cases against heavyweights like the Walt Disney Co., CBS, and the Reuters news service up to influential appellate courts.

    But these lawsuits have come at a price for Tur apparently. He tells Esquire:

    "I'm going broke," I've mortgaged my kids' futures for these cases. I've lost my wife -- she got tired of fighting and wanted more security. I've almost died from the stress of it."

    Tur isn't kidding about the stress part:

    At forty-seven, he's had five angioplasties, three technical heart attacks, and a triple bypass, and he still does triathlons.

    Not to mention the stress of potentially having to claim Keith Olbermann as a son-in-law. And speaking of Olby and MSNBC, guess who Tur's latest project (a police-chase documentary) is for? You got it, MSNBC.

    Daddy may be broke but her Sugar Daddy is pulling down 4M a year.

    How will Olbermann be able to talk about how many times his YouTube clips have been played if Tur suceeds in shutting them down?

    Chopper pilot. Manly man. No wonder Katy is rebelling and is hot for a 'not-so-manly' man.

    Wait a minute, I'm the official blower for the Democrats.

    From lawsuits he should refrain
    His footage is public domain
    Mister Tur is a tool
    The consummate fool
    Like Keith, viewed with total disdain

    For sex with a child, House page, prostitute, homosexual (or just plain ole rape), the Democrats appear to be the "go to" party...

    Barney Frank - Democrat - U.S. Representative from Massachusetts from 1981 to present. Admitted to having paid Stephen L. Gobie, a male prostitute, for sex

    Gerry Eastman Studds - Democrat - U.S. Representative from Massachusetts from 1973 to 1997. The first openly gay member of Congress. Censured by the House of Representatives for having sexual relations with a teenage House page

    Frederick Richmond - Democrat - U.S. Representative from New York from 1975 to 1982. Arrested in Washington, D.C., in 1978 for soliciting sex from a minor and from an undercover police officer.

    Neil Goldschmidt - Democrat - Oregon governor. Admitted to having an illegal sexual relationship with a 14-year-old teenager while he was serving as Mayor of Portland.

    David Giles - Democrat - candidate for U.S. Representative from Washington in 1986 and 1990. Convicted in June 2000 of child rape.

    Allan Turner Howe - Democrat - U.S. Representative from Utah from 1975 to 1977. Arrested for soliciting a policewoman posing as a prostitute.

    Joseph Waggonner Jr. - Democrat - U.S. Representative from Louisiana from 1961 to 19 79. Arrested in Washington, D.C. for soliciting a policewoman posing as a prostitute

    Jerry Springer - Democrat - Resigned from Cincinnati City Council in 1974 after admitting to paying a prostitute with a personal check.

    The classless New Jersey governor James McGreevy recently wrote a best-selling book called “Confession,” describing his risky and degrading encounters in men’s rooms and back alleys. He even spoke of inviting his male lover (placed on the state payroll despite a total absence of qualifications) into his marital bed in the governor’s mansion while his wife struggled in the hospital with a troubled pregnancy.

    The psycho anonyloon known as patsy is silenced.

    Two things about the Tur article.

    "...where he's finishing a new police-chase show for MSNBC."

    Well, well, I wonder why MSNBC is even looking at Tur as a potential source of revenue. Care to wager whether or not Katy is on the payroll with this show?

    "...I'm going broke," he says. "I've mortgaged my kids' futures for these cases."

    What the hell does that mean? Both are finished with college, and at least *one* of them is off to a great start.

    Seems daughter Katy has figured out a better way to finance her future.

    Looks like she needed the money.

    "Now, having grown up in the business - my parents are both prominent television reporters - I have been a firsthand witness to the demise of television news." - Katy Tur

    http://www.dailynexus.com/article.php?a=9992

    Katy ought to know about the demise of TV news - she's sleeping with it.

    ^ OW anon quote of the month!

    Uberloon attended Hackley School? What a hoot.

    Yes, very exclusive PREP school. Although it didn't help him get into Harvard or Yale. ..snif...tear falls...

    some other "famous" alums:

    Topping the list of famous graduates is architect Philip Johnson '23, known for The Glass House in New Canaan, Conn.

    More recently: ESPN sportscaster Chris Berman '73, MSNBC's Keith Olbermann '75, Cathy Schulman '83, producer of the move "Crash," and Moviefone founders Andrew Jarecki and Adam Slutsky.
    Malcolm Forbes, too.

    Wow, who knew Brandon reads Esquire...

    Keith's worst person in the world for tonight:

    WORST goes to LIGHTNING for setting the fire to my prep school's library. Now I have to send another copy of my "The Major League Coaches: 1921-1973" for the library archives. (Luckily I still have a ton of them stored in my still intact bedroom at my parent's house).

    WORSER: Bill "BJ" Clinton, for accepting my "dontation" for his poor school program. Now I do not have enough money to give to MY old prep school. (You don't expect Chris Berman to help out, do you?)

    WORSEST: Robert Tur, for unloading your daughter on me. I remember when she was 11 or so, I really thought I'd be getting a real wild-cat in the bedroom. What a dud. All she wants to do is shop.

    Olby has "Mommy" issues. Sounds like she might have a Daddy issue or two. No doubt they are the perfect couple.

    Ouch hit a nerve there didn't we bathtub boy? Or is it his underage girlfriend posting? No wonder you care oh so much.

    underage
    -----------
    I believe she is of legal age, simply young. A bit jealous, are you? You probably should be, I suspect.

    Pablum? You mean like the tripe that Olbermann dishes up every night for you idiots?

    You don't have the balls to defend Bush so you go after the messengers.

    Posted by: at August 7, 2007 12:32 AM

    This coming from someone who won't use a name! Hence, the term, anonyloon.

    This site is a joke, as are the Olbyhaters that populate it.
    Another reason why the Olbyloons discuss real issues, and kick your ass each and every day.

    If those left wing papers say to do it, Bush better hurry up and do it. I'll call him right now and give him the news....thanks, patsy.

    Now, Monsieur Royale, you know the White House switchboard has strict orders to call the Secret Service whenever you are on the telephone. They can't accept telephone calls from complete lunatics, and they are especially wary of RRW lunatics. I'll order you a Fischer-Price telephone, bright and shiny with lead paint by an outsourced worker. You can make all the telephone calls you want on that, and when you get hungry ....

    "Among them are newspapers from red states, including several (such as the Roanoke Times in Virginia and The Olympian in Washington state) that circulate in areas with large concentrations of military families."

    Posted by: at August 7, 2007 3:03 AM

    2 out of 20 aren't far left bird cage liners, that justifies your post? Just because there are service families living in those 2 areas doesn't mean they aren't riddled with far leftists, too.
