Quote:Ahhh,ok. Just like Hogan is too. In the meantime they put Gawker on notice not to put it on their website but did anyhow. Illegally.

 

It's not journalism or news when posting a copy of a video when part of the party was not privy to it being filmed. If Gawker played the "But we didn't know card" then that makes them even less of a "news" outlet for not doing any research into it.

 

I think it's funny that he not so subtlely ignored this post.  Let's ignore the fact that Gawker knew the tape was stolen and decided to run with it anyway.  Let's ignore the fact that this was done in private, stolen from the people that were apart of the tape, and stolen from the person who filmed it without all parties knowing it was being filmed.  So there are layers of shadiness here.

 

Gawker couldn't just report the story that there was a tape and that Hogan was secretly taped.  They couldn't report that they were offered the tape knowing that it was stolen and contacted by Hulk Hogan because they knew they wouldn't get enough hits on their website by just doing that.  Posting the video is what was going to get hits!  That was what was going to be "news."

 

When it comes crashing down and it hurts inside, he's gotta take a stand, it don't help to hide.  They hurt his friends, and they hurt his pride, he's gotta be a man, he can't let it slide!  He's a real American, he fights for the rights of every man.  He fights for whats right, he fights for his life!

 

I think flsprtsgod forgot the above.  Him winning that lawsuit is like slamming King Kong Bundy and Andre the Giant at the same time!
