...if your premise is true then it is a damning indictment of Gawker. Not Thiel.
This issue has been covered in detail. Hogan did not have the financial resources to combat the Gawker legal machine, funded from the company coffers.
It took Thiel and his larger coffers to come along and upset their apple cart.
So, if a rich person did buy the legal precedent, it was only until a richer person came along and restored sanity and parity to the system.
