If you weren't legit amazed at Hulk slamming Andre you probably aren't even a REAL AMERICAN and thus ineligible to be on a jury anyway.

The former editor, Albert J. Daulerio, a defendant in an invasion-of-privacy lawsuit brought by the retired wrestler Hulk Hogan, made the comment under questioning by a plaintiff’s lawyer, who had asked him where he drew the line when it came to posting videos of people having sex.
“Can you imagine a situation where a celebrity sex tape would not be newsworthy?” asked the lawyer, Douglas E. Mirell.
“If they were a child,” Mr. Daulerio replied.
“Under what age?” the lawyer pressed.
“Four.”

Justice brother!!!
So how much does his lawyer get? 30%
Punitive damages coming Monday too. "Go collect your 115$ million, Mr. Hogan." (http://"http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/14/business/media/gawker-nick-denton-moment-of-truth.html?_r=0")
A Florida jury has awarded Hulk Hogan $25 million in punitive damages in his sex tape lawsuit against Gawker Media. That's $15 million from Gawker, $10 million from Gawker owner Nick Denton and $100,000 from former Gawker editor in chief A.J. Daulerio.
It'll get knocked way down as it moves up the chain of courts, but I don't know if Gawker can survive [in its current form] anyway.

The plaintiff’s lawyers, with the occasional assist from our witnesses, successfully painted Gawker as representative of an untrammeled internet that good and decent people should find frightening and distasteful.

Money may not have been the main motivation in the first place. Thiel, who is gay, has made no secret of his distaste for Gawker, which attempted to out him in late 2007 before he was open about his sexuality. In 2009, Thiel told PEHub that now-defunct Silicon Valley-focused publication Valleywag, which was owned by Gawker, had the “psychology of a terrorist.”
“Valleywag is the Silicon Valley equivalent of Al Qaeda,” Thiel said at the time.

Hey look a libertarian funding a racist. Who would have thought those groups would cross paths.

Apparently referring to the pauper-ish Daulerio, one of the jurors asked Judge Campbell on Monday if they could impose a penalty of community service—not in a civil trial, the judge answered—evoking the image of the former Gawker editor trudging up and down Florida’s I-4 Corridor, picking up road kill.

The judge in the Hulk Hogan case is a vindictive billionaire?Don't forget the jury, who were chosen from people where Hulk Hogan LIVES, Tampa, which makes them biased.

The sacrifice: Gawker has been left behind. The battered flagship—the tattered black pirate flag of H.L. Mencken still flapping—lingers on the web like a ghost ship, the crew evacuated.
gawker really triggers the fuck out of mras :lol

To be fair, Gawker was always trash, though.
For the people (especially dudes) who agree this is a suitable punishment for the unauthorized distribution of a sex tape, would be interested in hearing their take on the Fappening.

The Gawker Defense Force doesn't amount to anything more than "I like their politics so therefore they are absolved of any responsibility."You could make the inverse claim just as easily. (And be correct, since Peter Thiel admitted to it.) Other publications have and will continue to publish ghoulish shit too, but they don't get shut down for it or see nearly as much hate thrown at them. Need I mention the mere existence (and continued success) of tabloids?
Lets not fight. Lets remember the good times, brehs.
Remember that time Gawker set out to "expose" Rob Ford with a crowdfunded campaign to give $50,000 to two drug dealers for a tape of Ford doing crack and turned him into a Canadian national hero instead of getting him put out of office like they hoped? :betty
What have they done lately that's earned them their reputation? :larry
Saying Kotaku isn't nearly as bad as they were is like saying dog shit is better than elephant shit, while technically true, it's still shit.

I mean essentially this is 'dont break the law' if a company cant do that, then fuck em :idont
