Sex tape taken without his consent that was posted on Kotaku.
Judge agreed to a takedown notice - they refused to do it, Hulkster sued, they obviously fucking didn't think it through because there's no way they could possibly win a court case by doing that.
>>331242534
Did they ever bring that up in the trial? The last I read about the hearings, Gawker and their CEO pretty much shat the bed by acting snarky and looking like a bunch of clowns by going on about how they'd violate the privacy of a 12 year old and saying how they didn't even have any real editorial oversight. That they just got the tape in the mail and told the "journalist" to put whatever they want out there.
>>331242505
Because "J-JOURNALISTIC INTEGRITY THE PEOPLE HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW, WE'RE LIKE WHISTLEBLOWERS, WE DESERVE PROTECTION, FREE SPEECH!"

They were bought out by a Russian billionaire a few months before the case started. He'll just cut them a check, and it's click-bait as usual the next day.

So how long until Kotaku gets shut down?
>>331242505
Reminder that Gawker was furious about the fappening.
>>331242505
Because when women (like Jennifer Lawrence) send out nudes and shit, it's considered sexual harassment to view, discuss, and distribute it. However, when a man does the same, it is to be sent on a shame-parade and deemed sexist.

One of the beasts has been slain and still you preach defeatism. I wonder which side you're actually on.
>>331243058
Depends. They will try to appeal, but it is possible that the judge will demand that they put the verdict money into escrow to do so.
Gawker doesn't have that kind of verdict money. They would need an investor to bail them out at risk that Gawker would lose AGAIN.
wew lads, i think kotaku is dead.

“Did you give any consideration prior to Oct. 4, 2012, as to whether publishing the Hulk Hogan sex tape would distress Hulk Hogan,” the lawyer asked.
“No,” he answered.
“You didn’t care, really, did you?” Harder asked.
“No,” he said again.
“Had you known that Hulk Hogan would be emotionally distressed by this publication you would have still published it, correct?” he was asked.
“Sure, yes,” Daulerio said.

Important point - Hulk didn't 'do the same', he got screwed much harder.
J.Law's nude selfies were consensual, she chose to take them (while their subsequent widespread release was not, obviously).
The Hulkster's sex video was NOT consensual (he had no knowledge of it being recorded), nor was its release.
>>331243701
>Gawker editors "motionless in shock"
>>331243497
Gawker published a sex tape that they filmed of him.
He asked them to take it down as an invasion of privacy.
Shlomo refused.
Shlomo tried to defend himself in court against hulkster by ACTUALLY RAISING THE POINT THAT HIS GRANDPARENTS WERE EFFECTED BY THE HOLOCAUST AND HE NEEDS FREEDOM OF SPEECH BECAUSE OF HOLOCAUST REASONS.
Gawker then gets blown the everloving fuck out since they're a shady slime-covered husk of a organisation.

Punitive damages usually aren't more than 10% of compensatory damages following advice from SCOTUS.
If the judge lets the 115 mil stand, they will just be a drop in the bucket.
Gamergate wins again!
Not video games. Also anyone who hates gawker is exposing themselves as a redditor.
>>331243821
>>331243845
FUCKING ACES
>>331243484
Basically "muh first amendment" on the basis that they were providing a commentary on Hogan's sex tape and edited it to show limited portions rather than simply leaking the tape in its entirety.
There were a number of problems with their argument which lead to this relatively quick and painful verdict, though
>Utterly unprofessional behavior not complying with previous court ruling
>Depositions which stated it was okay to publish sex tapes of children older than four
>Flimsy arguments that Hogan knew he was being taped
>Arguments that since the Hulk had talked about moustache rides that he had no expectation to privacy
>The evidence they knew the tape was illegally obtained
>The evidence that they leaked the Hulk saying "nigger" in retaliation to this specific case.
I'd love to see Gawker's article on this news story, lmao.

This could happen on a conceptual level, but they'd have to start over. There'd be no reasonable way to carry over the Gawker name, and they would be irrelevant without it.
If Gawker is such a small irrelevant site then why are you faggots so happy about it disappearing?

They're looking to pay possibly half their entire company worth in damages.

Has the court transcripts or judgement been release yet?
“Can you imagine a situation where a celebrity sex tape would not be newsworthy?”
Daulerio answered flatly, “If they were a child.”
“Under what age?” attorney Charles Harder asked.
“Four,” he said.
“No four-year-old sex tapes, OK,”
Something Gawker thought was actually good to say in court.

God fucking damnit Nash you buzzkill go blow your knees out.
>all these Real Americans
I KNOW I CALL YOU GUYS FAGGOTS EVERY SINGLE DAY BUT TODAY I AM PROUD TO KNOW YOU
>>331244562
that's why you have subsidiaries, so the whole thing doesn't come down at once
most likely, it will cause them to close down one office, which they'll open elsewhere under another subsidiary, it's just a drop in the bucket
also, none of this is coming out of nick denton's pocket, that's the whole point of a corporation (except maybe it'll hurt the value of his shares for a while)
>>331244746
well, now they are
>>331243418
Probably got more than expected since Hulk is a manic depressive who has been talked off the ledge before. By refusing to remove the video, they could spin it as Gawker actually threatening Hulk's life.
>>331244570
they were a facet dictating gaming with politically correct, indie garbage supporting, read into things that isnt there etc.

>>331244570
>If Gawker is such a small irrelevant site then why are you faggots so happy about it disappearing?
Keep in mind Gawker Media owns Kotaku. I don't think anyone would call Kotaku a small irrelevant site, being an absolute scourge of tumblrtard corruption that constantly attention-whores via social justice fuckery.
One thing to keep in mind, Florida law requires that Gawker would have to present the damages money in full to appeal but that is capped at $50 Million, Gawker's still fucked but they might try to weasel out of the remaining money if the appeal goes through
>>331241821
Kek which one of you did this?
>>331244839
300 mil and they need to pay 100, and that's just the start. They're fucked, it's over. We won
>>331244890
A hell of a lot more than $115m.
>>331244674
>How is anyone happy about this?
Because that's what the fuck they deserve.
If I had my way, I would have had them all shot, but I guess just being bankrupt is punishment enough.

Getting awarded money for emotional distress is good. It has some tax benefits.
This is a common tactic for lawyers, who naturally want to see how much money they can squeeze out on whoever pissed off their client. And if they can play the emotional distress card, whether it's legit or not, they'll do it.
>>331244939

Look it up; it was on a financial report for early 2015.
And the 300+mil is from a report in 2009.
>>331245761
Yeah sure, if your shareholders all think that they're willing to stick around after your company just lost half its value.
They're totally gonna be about that.

Dunno, I'm sure they'll try though.
Regardless, having to put it in escrow means actually having to HAVE the money to do it. Which they likely don't.
>>331243818
There's literally no way Gawker can win the appeal.

Pulling your money out of a successful model based on a case that won't likely repeat itself would not be a smart move. Either Gawker has a good model and it'll recover, or it has a poor one and you shouldn't have invested in the first place. Do you think they're gonna repeat this over and over again?
Does Gawker have any articles where they criticized/advocated against free speech? It'd be really fucking ironic if they did considering they used freedom of speech as their argument in court.
>tfw you come back to /v/ after a nice shower
>only to see the grand miracle of a burger court case siding with justice
>Gawker is kill, done in by no less a man than Hulk fucking Hogan
truly a moment to celebrate.

If you have a networth of around 300$m and lost 115$m of it (And there will be more) are you realy willing to risk another 50$m of that networth for 115-135$m?
Not it's a bad investment.

>>331243450
Leaking a video you took of someone without their consent in their own house (a sex tape no less) is not freedom of speech
It's invasion of privacy and highly illegal
The had to lock down the wiki. This is the best news I've heard all year.

Listen you shit.
Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from response.
Gawker was allowed to speak, Hogan responded, and now Gawker is choking on cocks from hell.
>>331243958
more like
>"Offend" womyn and minorities
>Hipster faggots dont want to be associated with vidya anymore

How the fuck does that logic work
>>331246026
On mobile; but from what I remember they were sitting at around 190.
They seriously did badly in the last 5 years.
Even if they don't crumble they will cut off their less-profitable parts.
Of which Kotaku is a major part; its been losing clicks relentlessly since 2013.
>>331246298
Except the death threats, which were the only thing they needed. GG was literally free publicity for all their targets, aided by their retarded spergraging.
>>331246285
To try and reduce the reward or get it remanded? If I had the money I'd try.
Losing half my net worth and just giving in like a cuck when i have a shot at trying to get a decision reversed is not something I'd do personally.
Either way, if Hulkamania's attorney took this on commission, he is sitting pretty on about almost $40 mil.
The people at Gawker have families. By them losing this case their families are now poor. This effectively took food out of their childrens' mouths.
You are a monster if you celebrate this.
>>331246482
We /eceleb/ and /pollite/ now

I still don't get it, all the USA USA chanting in this thread.
means some other country lost or something.
because chanting USA when an American wins a suit vs another American is just fucking retarded.
so vs what did the US win this time?
>>331244674
Because their employment entailed committing unlawful acts against others, including fraud, defamation and sexual harassment?
Seriously, what kind of positive response did you expect to get here today?
It's okay. That kind of garden-variety troll will always seek gainful employment with like-minded individuals, and it will come easy to them. Controversy is clicks, after all.
>>331246574
The lawyer was on his ass in seconds.
He asked him if he was lying in his deposition, and basically told him that he signed for the deposition that everything inside was accurate when he handed it over, so changing his story was perjury.
>>331244956
>I'm a fucking retard who doesn't know how limited liability works WOW guys
The owners are protected; the company and its assets are not. Especially with such an extraordinary sum.

That's what those families get for allowing such stupid faggots into their lives

Jesus this is too good
As reflected therin, Hogan's counsel (Charles Harder) represented to the state court that the "allegation of ...a racial statement" has "never been substatiated. Allegedly, according to the extortionist, there is a tapte taht contains this. No one in this room or any of the parties has ever seen this tape, has ever receieved this tape, knows anything about this tape or than [that] an extortionist said it occured." ex.72-c at 70:23-71:23
Has Gawker done anything similar before? Even if not nudes.
This could bring people out of the wood works if a similar thing happened.

Hey I'm not glad all the people lose their jobs but if you own a company that employs people don't fucking gamble with those jobs so you can generate cheap internet buzz

Fuck all their employees, paid thousands to create bait articles about worthless bullshit.
I'm happy they are soon to be worthless financially as they are creatively.
