Amber Heard did actually give legal statements in front of a neutral court. (Which, just for context, all the original #metoo cases didn't do... they were like "oh, before a Judge... never mind...) so unless Doublelift (who right now is preaching to his own choir) stands trial before a jury, you are right, they are not the same...

Contracts only bind a person in light of legal actions , that is if company does something illegal it should never been covered by a contract. It's a legally binding document , you can't be bound legally if your actions are illegal. The basis for my stance is "common sense" , not all contracts have to be written or even spoken , if it within the common sense that The company has to be operating Legally for it to have Legal power over it's employees in regards to these specific situations. That's How I understand the nature of "contracts". It's not like you're on a movie set and the clause exist to protect the movie from leaks and exist for the element of surprise. This case is of what I understand a proven repeat abuser with a lot of questionable practices. There's no fking way it would stand in court

The loser paying legal fees has to be expressly written in their contract. The "American System" defaults to each party paying their own legal fees. And lawyers can get very expensive. Especially if one party is willing to spend more to extended the case. Lawyers charge like $500 an hour for their work and even $200 an hour for their paralegals' work. In cases that last multiple years and are malicious persued to increase the amount of time the attorneys have to spendon the case, that can really add up.

3:55 Wait a minut... I dont know anything about the US justice system but do I understand it correctly that the "loser" of a lawsuit case doesnt need to pay the "winners" lawsuit costs? I am literally speechless if this is true.. This practically means that poor people never can get justice if they cant afford it, regardless if they are right? So if a super rich guy do something "semi-bad" towards someone, a crime which is usually reimbursed with $100k, they can just say: "if you take us to court with your 100% secure evidence that definitely will win you the case, we will make the lawsuit and the trial so expensive that those $100k you will be rewarded will literally be nothing in comparision and you will lose everything you own so you better drop the lawsuit" ? Damn, I really start to realize that Sweden (where I am from) is pretty awesome despite all our flaws, like naivety, our lenient view how to handle criminals and our focus on PC/Woke. I remember when ASAP Rocky was in Sweden not too long ago and he and his crew beat the snot out of some annoying kid and got arrested. After this, current president Trump actually tried to contact our Prime minster to have him released.... That is not how the Swedish justice system works. Rich and powerful people CANT make their own rules here. Everyone is treated the same to the law. And back to the topic; in Sweden, the loser of the trail must pay for the winners costs and if they cant afford, the state even pays it for him. (which I think is a bit annoying since it costs the tax payer millions to pay for lawsuit expenses for criminal without any money)

[@localhobo5362]

They have "American Rule", basically each party is responsible to it's own legal fees, in EU we have something called "English rule" or simply losers pays. But legal fees can be part of the legal suit, so even in US ordinary ppl can be compensated for their legal fees. But even in countries like Sweden rich side will just use some legal tactics to prolong the case for as long as they could (if they know they are gonna lose), they will do it till the "right side" is left without a penny and just couldnt keep going with the case. And eventually the "right side" will just have to settle behind closed doors (happens most of the time in cases between big corps vs ordinary ppl). And we know that civil suits can be very long and draining, for example look at Depp/Heard case, Depp sued her in march of 2019 and only now we see public hearings, it's very draining financially Unless some law firm use the said case as an investment (or publicity) and agree to keep going without paying till the case is won (like law firm wont charge legal fees during the case but they will take a big part of the settlement money or something like that). Hope I helped a bit. and Sweden is an amazing country btw, I lived there for like year or something, amazing place.

[@chriss6356]

I have tried to look into the matter a little bit in terms of non-disparagement clauses in California. From what I can tell, a non-disparagement clause is valid and enforceable as long as it does not relate to protected classes or sexual assault. Hopefully someone with some more legal knowledge can chime in, but I think the commenter on reddit was not correct when he said that there is no chance that TSM could win this. I hope it is not the case, but if the clause is not prohibited by California law, then Doublelift could be on the line for those damages that they are claiming. It is extremely rare that a court would not enforce the terms of a valid contract because that would set a precedent that undermines future contracts and contracts are one of the most important legal documents we have. I just hope DL has a good legal team that will give him truthful and honest advice and not try to sugar coat things because he is a high profile client.

[@slimeplort]

non-disparagement is in every standard contact a company ever has, because it covers their backs. You have to have real negotiation power to get that removed and no-one can just ask to have it removed. Because it's about brand risk, and a company doesn't want to incentivise workers speaking freely about internal workplace issues because it tends to reflect poorly on the company. If you want a job, you sign that clause.

[@cahn2003]

It is still immoral. Like in this case.

[@slimeplort]

​@@cahn2003 It can be used immorally, but the term itself is not immoral. It is in the law for a reason. There are many cases of this being abused the other way. however yes, when a company writes that into their contract they are 100% looking out for themselves and will fuck you over when push comes to shove. My point is that for the majority of people, the non-disparagement clause is not a choice. We can't just choose not have it in our contracts. If we did, we wouldn't have a job.

[@cahn2003]

@@slimeplort well its in the law to protect the powerful obviously, probably put into law decades ago by the typical everyday corrupt politicians ?

Segregation was a law but hey people saw it was immoral and got rid of it ^^ I mean this law has been carrying TSM for years it seems haha.

[@slimeplort]

​@@cahn2003 Not very law is there to protect the powerful. In fact, most laws are pretty alright overall. It's the clauses, and footnotes, and smaller changes in each iteration of office that slowly erode the purpose of a law and make it into the corrupt version we see today. Complacency is what got us here, not inherent evil. Disparagement is in place to protect people from truthful, but harmful, statements that should have remained a private affair. For example, you're a man who cross dresses. In your spare time at home you like to cross dress, and one day you weren't careful enough and a neighbour saw you. That neighbour then went to his local bar and told everyone in it what you do in your spare time. Now everyone in your area knows and starts to judge you. People you talk to start to pretend they don't know. Others accuse you of being a freak. You're looked at strange wherever you go. Your company gets wind of it and either fires you, in places with less stringent laws, or 'freezes' you in the effect of no longer providing you a career pathway or even demoting you. Now in that story, the statement told is true. If only defamation existed, and not disparagement, the person who's just had their entire life destroyed by their neighbour would have no recourse. That's why the law exists.

[@cahn2003]

@@slimeplort So in the example you just gave me the neighbour in question will be the one to get sued for giving a true statement ? Can this also apply to people who were for example on the verge of commiting a crime or minor offense for being exposed ? Also let's say i'm the one who told the bar about the cross dresser and all i said was "hey my neighbour is a cross dresser i couldn't believe what i saw" (i imagine you know how others once they hear the initial information tend to either exagerate it more or completely modify the story) would that be enough to take me down ? i'm genuinely curious :)

Double as a C9 fan I always disliked you as a player coz you had a mean habit of beating us in finals but fuck man. You are doing good fucking work in your streams and fucking TSM too which I can only respect. Keep up the good work

[@g8le]

Beating _us_? Hahahaha

Man i was off TSM BUT FUCK! I'm anti tsm now. No hate to the players on the team just the ORG is fucking tailspinning.

[@bobbob-vw4cc]
