The problem with this is that litigation is expensive, even for the winning party. This had made suing journalists for what they write popular in recent times. Had Hogan not succeeded, we'd simply be having the conversation a year or two later when repeated litigation had taken it's toll, regardless of the merits of said litigation. Almost all of the people who were suing Gawker had merit to their case, but this would have eventually ended in the same result either way.
