That's a bit nuts

  Yes it is. Why didn't Wolfgang Halbig get hit with the same?

    put it this way: I have never in my life heard of this man, and I doubt most people have either. Alex Jones has somewhere in the region of 100m viewers

      Correct. That's the point. If free speech is based on how much you make or how many people listen to you then it's not free speech it's a system for extortion.

        courts award damages based on ... damages

          doesn't seem like it

            the person I'm talking to seems to think that an actor with a smaller audience and smaller capacity to cause damages should be punished equally to someone with a bigger audience and bigger capacity to cause damages. with great power comes great responsibility, and the law reflects this whether you think courts generally award damages appropriately or not is beside the point
