I guess I never considered that these kinds of protest organizations can be held responsible for lost revenue.
It seems like there's a thread connecting the Citizens United case / super PACs to organizations like Greenpeace- if a corporation's (non-persons) right to donate money is protected by freedom of speech, is Greenpeace's right to organize against a corporation protected speech as well?
I can't find anything that specifies that they alleged any illegal activity by Greenpeace.
Seems like otherwise any company can claim damages when a non-profit they don't like is organizing against them.
