AJ Daulerio, Gawker's former editor-in-chief, shocked a Florida courtroom on Wednesday when he sarcastically said that nearly all celebrity sex tapes are fair game — unless the subject is four-years-old.

One I read said that there will be punitive damages as well, and that the $115M did not include them.

Why did Gawker think a sex tape of Hulk Hogan would be worth watching. That is exciting as watching cats mate. They get what they deserve.

$25 million in punitive damages on top of the $115 million judgment.   :lol:

I guess there is a strong public policy against voyeurism.

The bullshit rhetoric they trotted out about why it was okay to out Peter Thiel was a rough ridin' joke. I loved Gawker, but Nick Denton got exactly what he deserves, eff him.

Gawker was like the internet version of the National inquirer. It's for feeble-minded people who purchase the bullshit for sale at the cash register.

I really enjoyed seeing that site go down. Twitter was so delightful. Was so very easy to pick out former gawker writers.

I think frivolous lawsuits are bad behavior, so it is a pretty big net negative for me.

I'll admit to not knowing the legal side of this whole deal. I know there are people extremely worried about it. My simpleton brain hopes the legal process will take care of it.

why would someone invest in a frivolous lawsuit?  wouldn't a rational investor only invest in those suits which seem to have merit?

Also, it wasn't only one lawsuit. Thiel funded several. His goal was to either cost them a ton of money or make them go broke. Is that how the legal system should be used?
