Every time I think about this case I think of how much a snowball’s chance in hell I’d have as a relatively poor private citizen fighting a company the size of gawker. They got their day in court before a jury in a situation where the lawyers on each side were well-paid and the jury said “guilty”.
And every respected journalist who got their start there sounds suddenly libertarian in their defense of why working there was so special: “it doesn’t matter how many eggs we broke… We were so FREE!”
