Wow. Apparently Gawker insisted that it had a first amendment right to show a video, attained through some nefarious mean, featuring Hulk Hogan's penis. Shockingly, the jury disagreed that Hogan's schlonging was a newsworthy item entitled to constitutional protection.

Maybe so, but I predict this will be reversed. It's well established that pictures of penises are subject to first amendment protection.Originally posted by old_gregg View PostWhen a true genius appears, you can know him by this sign: that all the dunces are in a confederacy against him.

How much did Erin Andrews get for the peephole video? $54M?Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

Perhaps if the government wants to restrict the images, but this is a civil matter. This is not really a libel case and it's not newsworthy, so I don't even know if the public figure issue even comes into play. In fact, I can't think of much of any precedent for this case. The facts are pretty bad, the video was recorded without his knowledge and it was released to the public without the consent of the person secretly recorded.Originally posted by SeattleUte View PostPart of it is based on academic grounds.

Based on a quick perusal of the Hollywood Reporter article linked on Drudge it sounds like the trial judge really screwed (no pun intended) Gawker in ruling on motions in limine. This one might be coming back.PLesa excuse the tpyos.Comment

The article I just skimmed said that there was little or no evidence about how or why it was recorded shown to the jury and the jury didn't even see any of the tape. What were the causes of action?Originally posted by Color Me Badd Fan View PostPLesa excuse the tpyos.Comment

Funny that an argument that Hulk Hogan uses is that "Hulk" is a public personality who talks about his sexual exploits on Howard Stern radio show, but Terry Bollea is a not a public figure. He argues that the sex tape was of Terry Bollea. But he is awarded damages in the realm of a public figure like Hulk Hogan.
