re: #451 Nyet

Why would he need Thiel’s money then?

Who says he needed it? Getting someone else to pay for it would be a sensible business decision.

The point is, this is not a case of MegaGigaCorp against Joe Blow. And whatever you think about the merits of THIS case, it should be obvious what someone with Thiel’s wealth could choose to do to innocent publications that he just didn’t like. There’s leveling the playing field, and then there’s tilting it in the other direction.
