Gawker Media sued by Fred Durst for linking to sex video
Nick Denton’s Gawker Media are being sued by Fred Durst for hosting a sex video featuring the Limp Bizkit lead signer.
The Smoking Gun reports that Durst has filed a US $80 million law suit against a number of sites, including Gawker.

Weblogsinc’s Jason Calacanis ponders “Is this the end of Gawker.com?”.
No matter what the truth in who is right or wrong, the power of a multi-million dollar performing artist against an upstart blogging network bides badly for Denton, and despite the error in hosting the video, we none the less wish him well in his defence.
