$115,000,000! ka-ching! ka-ching! ka-ching!
Dissapointed in this. Will likely put Gawker out of business. I personally enjoy their content immensely.

Gawker released a sex video of hulk - > hulk sued gawker -> A judge ordered gawker to put the video down -> gawker said fuck it we won't because "muh free speech"(basically they went against a federal order) -> hulk won |
So they could have avoided all of this but they chose not to.
Sometimes there are things not worth fighting for. This is definitely one of them. lol!
115 million for a sex tape? Damn. I do think that is asking way too much, and that should be lowered. The company will probably just go bankrupt, as there's no way they'll be able to pay for that large amount. Though pretty stupid that "Gawker" entertainment didn't just take the sex tape down. It is an invasion of privacy.
Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).
I certainly think punishing Gawker for this is reasonable, but to the the point of ruining the company is unfair.
Many jobs could be lost simply because they posted a video they didnt make. Its too harsh.

To be honest, you can't blame Hogan or the courts for the situation Gawker finds themselves in. You don't run out of insurance money, for settlements, by being a good, honest, ethical company. They've literally fucked up so many times, they've exceeded the amount of money their insurance will cover, for their fuckups.

Heh. Do you remember their reasoning for not taking down the sex tape, even with the court order?
