If I was TruthRevolt, my reply would be “We look forward to the litigation. We shall be countersuing for court and legal costs as well as actual and punitive damages”
She is catching a lot of flak over this. She’s had to cancel a book tour because of it.
The truth is a complete defense to libel and slander.
IF it even gets litigated, she will shop for venues and Judges.
Probably be on the same ticket as sandy fluke (rhymes with duck). The header should have read: lena dumbass, revolting.
It matters not at all what the book says, much less what the facts are. All that matters is the selection of the judge. Given the possibilities there, I would expect this leftist bimbo to collect big-time.
She is just another sick liberal wanting her 15 minutes of fame.
There is something chemically wrong with this chick’s brain.
I really wish that this disgusting toad would go away and never return.
Doubtful it will go that far. Getting publicity for the types of kinky ‘experimenting’ Dunham admits to will not help her career (and a trial would bring plenty of publicity). Not even liberals are really comfortable with paying little sisters to kiss them on the lips, and timing the kiss to make sure it lasts long enough as, in Dunham’s own words, a ‘child molester’ would do. Not all publicity is good publicity. Somebody will get to Dunham eventually, and tell her to just let this go and hope people forget. Bank on it.
There are exceptions, one of which is for criticism.
There’s a hundred more just like her wandering around at Oberlin.
She must have thought that people would buy her book, because she’s “hip,” but not read it, perhaps because they can’t actually read.
It appears only Truth Revolt actually read her book. It’s been out for over 1 month.
Wouldn’t know her if I dropped a big stinking “deuce” on her head....which after reading about this pervert might actually turn her on.
There is also a reprinting rule that turns on what percentage of the original you quoted. This makes it nearly impossible to quote parts of songs w’out permission, since they are so short that almost any quote comes to a large percentage of the whole.
When it comes to books, however, quoting several paragraphs or even a whole page doesn’t infringe the rule. It will still only be a very small percentage of the whole.
Actually, no. Truth Revolt particularly states that they only found out about the most questionable quotes by reading another site—one that quoted the excerpts first.
It will be interesting to hear Dunham explain why she sued Truth Revolt for being just one of many sites to quote the excerpts, and not even being the first one.
