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.”

Probably was paid hourly if Hulk was smart and could afford $100,000 in attorney fees for a big case like this with a good firm.  If Hulk was dumb and went contingency, and it went to trial, probably 25-40% depending on if Hulk bargained.

I'm not sure what fucked over Gawker more. The fact that Hulk's lawyers were on point and had everything including showing every instance that Gawker Media created an article that campaigned against "Revenge Porn" and detailed Gawker's own stance on "Revenge Porn" once one of Gawker's editors were pressured into bringing it up they didn't consider the Hulk tape "Revenge Porn". Or that Gawker and their attorneys ego's were so sky high they thought they could go in, take an L and a small payout because it's well known Hulk Hogan is a D-List faded celebrity and pretty terrible human being that the Jury wouldn't have much sympathy for.

To get absolutely raked over the coals for $115 million damages and never mind the punitive costs then have to pay up a $50 million bond to appeal. Gawker could pay for cheaper legal reps and they would be better than the ones they have.

The one Gawker editor who said he'd publish a child sex tape needs to get an especially hard kick in the ass. The guy did not know what he was even saying.

Paraphrasing:
"Would you publish a video featuring children?"
- "Depends on the age."
"How low would you go?"
- "No younger than 4 years old."

The guy obviously thought, "yeah, I would be transgressive enough to do this one", without realizing that he just said he'd publish child pornography. How incredibly stupid do you have to be... I bet their lawyer wanted to throttle him.

Back in 2012, to the largely young and metropolitan audience of Gawker, and to those who found the story through news reports and search engines, the post was not particularly offensive. It was their choice to click on the headline and the play button. But the climate has changed since Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton made their names with celebrity sex tapes; they seem like artifacts from an earlier and more licentious internet era.

2012 nostalgia.

So am I following this: The real story is Hogan being a racist, not his sex tape. Which is why we published the sex part of the tape ?

It's still up after being posted a few hours ago. So Gawker's legal representation must have fled the scene as any sensible legal team lodging an appeal wouldn't have let Nick Denton anywhere near a publishing platform till the appeal goes through :doge

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.

Mr. Thiel said he considered his financial backing of the cases against Gawker to be “one of my greater philanthropic things that I’ve done. I think of it in those terms.”

He refused to divulge exactly what other cases against he has funded but said, “It’s safe to say this is not the only one.”

He's saying the Billionaire that funded/bankroll's Hogan's case. Which is still dumb, because like Hogan he was a victim of Gawker and Gawker's karma came around to kill them.

He should think of it this way: If Gawker didn't out that billionaire against his will, Hogan wouldn't have had a benefactor to bankroll his trailer. Or, conversely, if Gawker took the tape down like they were ordered to, they wouldn't have had a case with Hogan in the first place. What goes around (flaunting the law and making victims) comes around (the victim attacks back and punts you straight into the ground).

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.

They're still going with that "BUT WE'RE ONLY DYING BECAUSE OF A MILLIONAIRE SUGAR DADDY WE FUCKED WITH HAS A VENDETTA AGAINST US" excuse? I mean, yeah that's semi-valid... but you did yourselves in, you stupid fucks.

Oh, I agree. Their philosophy of gossip as noble calling is idiotic, and the attempts to defend outing the Conde Nast exec were really gross. But I'm pretty wary of the future benjiverse where justice is meted out by Randian supermen using their financial muscle to bring renegade publications to heel. Plus seeing the bore's resident purveyor of vindictive gossip Mary Tyler Whore whining about Gawker's crimes is enough hypocrisy to make me gag.

Same shit, invasion of privacy. But I'm at least hypocritical enough to say that I want to see everyone nude so while it invades their privacy, it isn't going to stop me from seeing both genders celeb or non-celeb nudes.

I never looked at any of that stuff, nor have I ever published any sex tapes involving Hulk Hogan or anyone else.

So I'm morally pure, thus free to delight in the eternal suffering of the damned. Footage of your continual hellfire immolation and reconstitution will be made available exclusively to devout RecursivelyPremium subscribers.

I find it problematic that you are valuing the opinion of males over that of females in this matter.

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?

It was an entertaining spectacle, sure, but the result is pretty grim. Especially for Daulerio. Pretty harsh punishment for being a pompous asshole. I won't even harp on the money wins court case thing, as that seems to be an accepted reality people shrug their shoulders at.

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

Except that tape eventually did come out and proved them kinda right. :doge Just by then Ford had kicked the bucket due to being overweight so Canada doesn't want to charge him/"drag him through the mud."

Kotaku aren't nearly as bad as they used to be. Even Brian "wacky Japan!" Ashcraft posts less garbage now. The worst regular feature right now is that Snacktaku nonsense.

Kotaku is still hot garbage, tho. Let's be honest.

The best part of all of this is that deadspin is still alive, and Drew Magary has a home to continue to do his thing. Although, honestly, I think his latest novel is really gonna take off and he might become too big for deadspin. We'll see.

That's a good thing imo, the power in your US courts have always been with the people who have the most money 99% of the time the big company, this slightly re-balances that. I mean essentially this is 'dont break the law' if a company cant do that, then fuck em  :idont

This was, no shit, a central conceit in a SF short story I read years ago. Basically there were so many lawsuits going on, a separate stock market is established to invest in their likely eventual outcomes.
