585: Dhimmi or Dead

Joris Demink Prosecution and SLAPP Lawsuits

The Dutch Justice Department's decision to prosecute former Secretary General Joris Demink for alleged pedophilia is discussed as a vindication for Adam Curry's past reporting. The hosts also define "SLAPP" (Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation) as a legal tactic used to silence critics through financial exhaustion. They cite a case involving talk show host Tom Martino where a judge ruled that comedians cannot be sued for libel because their statements are not intended to be taken as literal fact.
