BI NOW GAY LATER posted:you have to have a lot of money to prosecute this kind of case Then that's more indicative of the opposite problem, that it's inaccessible to the average person, rather than Thiel having access to it Gawker's problem wasn't primarily that their opponent was rich, it was the way the law is structured. If the law is fine, it's fine for people to have access to that option in court

If anyone had followed my earlier post they would have made ~$100-$500 less transaction fees already on the day, will probably be another ~$200-$1,000 by tomorrow. Boon fucked around with this message at 18:22 on Aug 18, 2016 |

Let's not forget that Hogans son turned his friend into a potato in a Mk4 Supra; 80mph into a palm tree has a way of doing that. But Gawker is bad! And gossip! And Hulk Hogan's good name has been tarnished forever because he fucks his neighbor's wife while bemoaning the large swaths of non-white people. The loving horror.

botany posted:no, as far as I know Gawker itself was buried under court costs, while the individual writers were destroyed by the punitive damages awarded. quote:also to put this into perspective, the video that accompanied the story was two minutes of highly-edited footage from the 30 minute sex tape, and less than 10 seconds of those 2 minutes were from the sex parts, the rest was racist ranting. this is well within the usual tests for public interest. OH, they only showed his cock unnecessarily for A FEW SECONDS, no problem then seriously, pretend it was done to a woman and try to justify it even a little bit. There was literally no reason to show Hogan engaged in sex acts

Gawker is an extremely terrible rag and a clickbait bullshit that is an amazing representation of whats wrong with media in today's world. You have yellow journalist entities like Fox News and the rest of the networks now and then print news which is only surviving by following the trend of clickbait nonsense. Which to be fair to them, is the only way it is surviving. Gawker stood nearly at the top of the mountain that is lack of ethics in journalism. I absolutely am glad it's going away. This would be a completely different thing if it was the New York Times or something but as it stands I am glad they're going away.

So, what happens if Gawker (I guess univision now?) wins on appeal? The damage seems to be pretty much done, but it's widely expected they'll win on appeal. Also, how much did Gawker ignoring a judges take down order of the video cause all of this? Between that, gloating about doing that on their website and what they said in open court, I can't imagine there was anything more they could do to damage themselves in that lawsuit. This is a tabloid being taken down to be sure, but I don't like the implications of it.

I'm not happy they thought that also gave them free reign to post his sack as much as they wanted. That's moronic and unethical, and probably not worth them being shut down over, but c'mon

I'm not a lawyer but it seems like things wouldn't have gone so poorly for them if they didn't so flagrantly tell the courts to go gently caress themselves Showing someone's dick against their will didn't really add anything journalistically, they just did it for views which was pretty messed up

Univision's owners get money, gawker probably stays offline while jezebel/Kotaku/etc keep running. Jezebel and Kotaku are also the parts of Gawker that the people celebrating its demise actually hate.
