WHERE WERE YOU WHEN HULKAMANIA RAN WILD ALL OVER GAWKER MEDI

>>331289207
>WHY IS THIS VIDYA!?!
Because, like it or not, Gawker Media's style of short, controversial punchy articles and poorly researched character assassination have shaped digital reporting and media of all subjects, and Videogames are no exception. Kotaku, a site held in distaste by many, is a wholly owned subsidiary and arguably arguably the source of many meta-constroversies that currently rage in the vidya community - some of which are banmable offenses to mention here. The fallout from this particular case has, furthermore, caused the removal of Hogan from several media properties, including but not limited to the yearly wrestlemania videogames.

Usually when a company loses tons of money, they are forced to downsize. So they will be cutting employees or whole departments/media brands because they can no longer afford to sustain them

>>331289542
>>331289630
how much cash do you think Gawker has on hand

they said $40 million was enough to ruin them

Will you faggots ever learn to use the catalog?

>>331289542
Gawker is worth less than half of the actual debt, and more money will be added on monday.

do you faggots not realize that the 100 million will never survive the appeal

Can they even afford to pay the bond for the appeal?

>>331289769
they don't have enough money to appeal

>>331289769
Assuming they'll be able to get it, lmao

>>331289715
In terms of "value" I believe it was at 300$ mil.
Though liquid assets, which is what they're going to have to use to pay Hogan, are likely much less. It's what will kill them in the long run.
I think Denton himself mentioned long before the trial that losing the case to Hogan would end them.

>>331289394
Gotta love the double standard. "IT'S OKAY. AS LONG AS IT'S NOT A WOMAN. REMEMBER THOUGH, WOMEN ARE OPPRESSED"

>>331289715

Nope. They're dead. They have to put up that hundred mill before they can even appeal, or just fork over everything, which is what they'll do.

they have to pay 100 million just to be able to appeal. and the jury has not even decided punitive damages yet faggot

>>331289865
It's still a double standard, but I think it has more to do with the fact that hulkster says nigger and they generally think he is morally reprehensible.

Still though, that doesn't justify their actions, and honestly they deserved this for thinking they were invincible and refusing to take it down when warned, it was only icing on the cake that they couldn't mount a defense for shit and got BTFO so badly

You greatly overestimate a site that even admitted to not getting much traffic outside of the cosplay galaries. "Games Journalism" is dead and Youtube killed it.

this is just gonna get thrown out in the appeals court so gawker gets off scott free

either that, or they'll just delay it until nobody gives a shit anymore

you can't win with this legal system

> Denton read from a prepared statement outside the courthouse Friday evening that said, "Given key evidence and the most important witness were both improperly withheld from this jury, we all knew the appeals court will need to resolve the case. ... That's why we feel very positive about the appeal that we have already begun preparing, as we expect to win this case ultimately."

They prepared for this shit senpai, a little 'extra' to the judges and jury here and there and it'll be nothing compared to what they'd have to pay out.

That would hold water if
A. they can afford to go to appeals court
B. they hadn't defied a previous court order to remove the video

In that case Hulk keeps the 115mil and Gawker gets no appeal. Hulk still wins.

I always knew there was something special about the Hulk. Something that instinctivly made me like the guy ever since I first heard of him. Here we are, many years later and the man turns out to be our Lord and saviour.

I am glad I am witnessing our holy father make his first act of righteousness be shitting in the mouths of one of the biggest cesspool businesses on earth.

115 million us just the big boot to set up the punitive damages leg drop that the jury will decide is another 100 million

>>331290245

>the privacy of his home?

SJWs know no boundaries. Anything you say, think, or feel that is against their standards is subject to attack. Ask the former Mozilla CEO.

Gawker is incorporated in Budapest, Hungary to make it next to impossible to collect much of anything. They have had offices in Budapest from the start plus Nick Denton might not even own most of the site anymore its rumored he sold most of his stake in the company and now works for the firms that invested in it. Almost all of the plum websites they own are not even part of the company other then Gawker itself. So good luck collecting much let alone that 115 million.

Didn't Neck Denton's lawyer bring up the fucking Holocaust in court?

>>331290318

Nigga they said the same arrogant ass shit before this trial and got blown the fuck out

>>331290242
Bubba the Love Sponge literally paid him to do that.

Also Bubba is a pretty big asshole that noone really likes and they actually dismissed him as a valid witness because he has no credibility, hahaha

>>331290242
well his friend wanted to be cucked. Hulk was just making sure his friend's wife got a taste of the Hulkamania, brother!

Besides Gawker drew the line with that "4 year old sex tape" spiel.

Is anyone able to go over Hogan?

>Even $50 million is a lot of money, though, so it’s likely that Gawker will ask the courts (first Campbell, and if she refuses, as she likely will, then the appeals court) to either reduce the amount of the supersedeas bond or to stay the judgement without requiring a bond.

>Dorothy Easley, one of Florida’s top appellate attorneys, writes in a 2012 article in the Florida Bar Journal that courts have the power to issue stays without requiring supersedeas bonds. A defendant like Gawker can get an automatic stay by paying the full amount of the bond, but if they cannot afford the bond, then they can still ask the courts to grant a stay; they just won’t automatically receive one. It will be up to the court’s discretion.

>Given how favorable the appeals court has been toward Gawker so far, the company is understandably confident that the appeals court will issue a stay without requiring them to pay a $115 million bond.

Wouldn't surprise me. Obviously Gawker had no idea what they were doing going in.
First, the case was being held in the Hulkster's hometown. He had home court advantage.
Second, Gawker tried to take advantage of public outrage in the hopes of turning jurors against Hulk (useless considering the first point). Also if public opinion swayed court opinion every single dindu who shot a cop would be home free and every cop who shot a dindu in self defense would have received the needle.
Third, Gawker proceeded to completely demonize themselves with Daulero-what's-his-face's comments about hosting child sex tapes on their site during the deposition.

This probably won't kill Gawker Media, but it will hurt enough for them to look really closely at themselves. We can expect major reforms to how they operate, which might improve their output (not making any promises but here's to hoping, right?).

Today is a day where the freedom to privacy prevailed against those who wish to abuse the lives of others for monetary gain. Hulk Hogan LITERALLY fought for the rights of every man.

>>331290608

Yeah, despite already being in contempt of said court.

Yes. He also couldn't stop asking about Hulk's penis.
Their defense literally consisted of:
-Muh 6 gorillion!
-we're okay with hosting child sex tapes
-how big is your penis, Hulk?

So does this mean Kotaku stops existing?

Violation of the 1st amendment, defamation, slander, to name afew.

Law basically revolves around protecting a citizen's self, his rights, and his property. Posting someone nude when they don't want you to is damaging their reputation (property), their ability to control their repuatation (rights), and likely you could chalk up humilation and stress as damaging to their person.

To put this another way, if gawker asked for money to take it down it would have been extortion.

I think this is really the thing. Gawker portrayed themselves like scum with every chance they had so I can only imagine punitive damages will be relatively high. Not only because they did nothing to convince anyone they wouldn't do this again, but also because it'll set a precedent.

>>331291139
Slander and defamation are not defined in the first amendment. But free speech from that amendment was not actually being exercised at all as Gawker tried to use as a defense. There are measures of what can be defined as free speech, and usually refers to politics and opinions thereof, and releasing a sex tape is not among them.

If it was brought up in court it was probably a desperate attempt by Gawker to attack Hogan's character.

While true, both were published on the website. If there's any kind of approval process for these they should theoretically go through the same team since they're both dealing with the same rough topic (celebrity sex/nudity).

The site as a whole should still be condemned for this because the articles should have been vetted for consistency before even being allowed to be displayed to the public.

>>331291138

yeah and? I think a lot of /pol/ is just trolling anyway, as in a sizeable amount are just in it for jokes. Not sure what /pol/ stupidity has to do with feminist stupidity though.

I'm not wild about the idea of a jury determining what constitutes public good (or knowledge, or private, or journalism) and that's where I see the disturbing precedent (broad sense, not legal sense) being set. We've seen decades of the rich and/or powerful abusing the courts to silence criticism or embarrassing information and the perilously slow response of the legal system to respond to that behavior. If you think the fallout of this is limited to celeb sex tapes though, you've got to broaden your mind.

Hogan was one of the all-time legends- set revenue records and starred in iconic moments. That also holds true for Floyd Mayweather.

We all know Floyd and Domestic Violence. Well, "know" is strong... every time it comes up, Clark County manages to delay, destroy or otherwise lose the proof. What happens if Floyd's next girl has a camera recording video when Floyd beats on her though? History has shown that going to the cops in Vegas doesn't work out well, so leaking the video to a blog could be an understandable decision-tough for him to start a counter narrative when the public has access to see his abuse for themselves. After this case? I'd be incredibly hesitant to run that tape as a blogger or local media organization. Even if I think I will prevail, court costs will be ruinous and my fate will be in the hands of people who live and work in an economy that owes far more to Floyd than FL's did to Hulk.

That's why it was shitty when SchiavoJudge denied summary judgement, it's why it's shitty when it's applauded because of a reflexive Fuck Gawker (though it's useful for determining whose ostensible support of free speech is overpowered by their hatred of another Gawker property), and it'll be shitty if this doesn't get smacked down on appeal. Everyone involved with this is human trash who deserve each other, but I'd really appreciate it if they could destroy each other without weakening the meager protections we give bloggers.

Sometimes justice comes in the less expected ways.
Hope gawker and all their scum sites get fucked, specially kotaku.

More over, Freedom of the Press doesn't mean what people seem to think it does. It doesn't mean. "I can run any story I want and say anything I want." Even Freedom of Speech has limits and just means that the government can't stop you from saying things, but there are still consequences for saying things.

Freedom of the Press simply means that they don't have to run a story through the government first to make sure that nothing goes against what they want the people to know. Just because they aren't stopped by the government, doesn't mean that what they post is right or just and if it infringes on the privacy of an individual or if it damages an individual, they can seek damages.

That was the whole point of Slander and Libel, protecting the individual from those that held more power. More power, means more restrictions, or at least it should. That's the way that it use to work. It's also why companies pushed so hard for being able to be treated as people/individuals, because it then afforded them these same protections.

Please explain how posting a private video taken by a hidden camera showing abuse would correlate to the same but showing a celebrity having sex.

Which is why people quoting the first amendment for being able to say something is always just a little humorous to me. They're very close to just saying, "This is my opinion!

>>331292168
In the US, you don't have to have a trial by jury. It's just a pain-in-the-ass option that you are guaranteed by our constitution.

You can have a judge decide it, or settle out of court, or do a few other things.

In the US, a trial by jury is usually the last resort of scumbags who hope they can pull the wool over the eyes of some yokels and get away with a crime they're obviously guilty of.

That doesn't mean they have $300Mil in cash.

>>331292374
Net Worth isn't even how much money they actually have on hand. That would be if they fully liquidated the company, they would have 300 million.

At most Gawker has 10 million on hand that they could spend, but it would ruin them. That's why they sought outside money to pay for this whole thing and try for an appeal.

>>331292374

Worse, he was a corporate management guy (I think CEO) who had gone out of his way to make his life private, so they had absolutely no justification for outing him whatsoever (it was not part of the "public interest"). Also, he was married to a woman and had a family, so there's damage right there.

...But free speech was included in the first amendment to protect "unpopular opinion". Opinion isn't about facts, opinion is just a perspective, and opinions are taken to be subjective. The difference between stating an opinion and stating a fact is in language, and that is something like the difference between saying "I believe that man may be gay" and "That guy is gay". Can't tell the difference? Perhaps you will have to read up on som Chomsky's notes about linguistics before we continue further.

Gawker irl

>People who use gawker sites actually believe that a company with no money can bribe someone.

I know Bernie said that there is no such thing as poor white people, but c'mon. Use your noggin.

>>331292780
Wouldn't be surprised if Alex, and probably Brad, beg and plead that he be brought back on.

>>331292713
My point was that people who are actually worth paying attention to will be more like the former example you provided rather than the latter. Someone who backs up their words with facts, and requests to know why they're being rankled, as opposed to immediately stating that what they're saying should be allowed since it's technically not illegal.

Pretty sure the guy actually wasn't gay at all, it was just one guy trying to extort him.

THEY HAVEN'T EVEN ASSIGNED PUNITIVE DAMAGES YET! HOGAN CAN AWARDED EVEN MORE MONEY

>>331292798
Appeals court is a different court and unfortunately the Appeals court has sided with Gawker before on shit. We will have to wait and see where this goes, but it hardly matters, the general public saw the trial, heard the testimony. They have seen the beast for what it really is and that lasts.

Gawkers days of clickbait are at an end. They will probably be reduced to a propaganda website for Russian interests now.

>>331292876
I hate frogposters. But I like that image, and will never get tired of seeing it posted. If only there was a non-frog version.

Well, that's just a matter of dialogue when it comes to explaining why someone holds an opinion and that's why there's stupid TV shows with talking heads. It's only going to be against the law if the guy states something as fact.

"Uhhhh....FUCK KLEPEK!!" - Alex and Brad

He didnt care when they told him to delete movie from the site, he wont care when they told him to pay

jury trials do not set precedent
it could set precedent if it goes to appeals and gets upheld by the higher court though

>Fuck you Florida and Hulkamania we're not paying you
I want to see this. I really do. The problem is that it's actually much more boring since them not paying just means dragging it out in court forever.

Fuck courts.

I swear i had a dream about this.

Why do i feel deja-vu

>>331293048
Alex is so far from the second worse after Brad when Austin exists.

Even if Gawker went to Appeals court, what would happen if they lost in Appeals?

Will their ripped assholes be bigger?

>>331293023
Losing the case to an appeal would be pretty shit. I certainly don't want to see that happen to the guy after he fought so hard against them. His career is gone and the stain of being labeled a racist will never go away, even if it turns out to all be fake. The WWE will never let him back in.

Serious Question.

Everywhere, I am seeing people glad that Gawker is getting fucked and hoping the get shut down.

How is a company that is so hated by people able to sustain enough 'readers' to keep the company afloat?

Austin is not an asspie or falls asleep on camera. He is miles ahead of A&B.

Their asshole would implode after paying Hulk and further legal fees

>>331293052
Good, I hope they refuse to pay, this will just make things even worse. They will be given huge fins on top of the damages they need to pay, assets will be seized and they will be forced into insolvency. The majority of their employees will lose their jobs literally over night with basically no warning, and the small handful that will remain will only be there long enough to help the court assigned agents literally tear the company apart.

From Neocuck:

Ever heard of the term "clickbait"?

>>331293052
imagine if he actually refuses to pay.
Holy fuck, the outcome would be amazing!

>>331292974
>the Appeals court has sided with Gawker before on shit

I would agree with you however this is a completely different case. Especially one that involves Gawker outright defying court orders.
Spit on the system and then hope for it to save you. Couple that with the child sex tape shenanigans and I don't see much in the way of sympathy for them this time around.

Can't the courts seize some of their assets to pay off the damages?

Mr. Hogan should use some of this new money to fund his own brand of business bandannas.

>>331293164
Because it depends on clickbait articles and celeb gossip like many publications.

Most people don't know or could care less learning about Gawkers shitty practices, so yeah.

You could say the same thing about BuzzFeed I guess.
