This is a new one even for Brad Greenspan… after having established a reputation for attempting to thwart deals (News Corp.-MySpace, News Corp.- Dow Jones (NYSE: NWS), Linktone (NSDQ: LTON) -PT Media Nusantra Citra), now he’s trying to stop a site from closing down. His company LiveUniverse has made a bid for Stage6.com, the video sharing site from DivX (NSDQ: DIVX) which was recently shut down. Having recently acquired struggling video site Revver, the company wants to pay $11 million for Stage6, in a combination of cash, free advertising, and equity participation for DivX shareholders. The announcement is typical for him, lashing out at the DivX management, while encouraging shareholders to get on the company for its reluctance to talk, all in a somewhat paranoid sounding manner. Full details here.
