Imagining a world where Joanne Rowling is legally required to shut the fuck up bloomer

[-] Philosoraptor@hexbear.net 48 points 1 month ago

The best part is she absolutely will not be able to help herself, and won't comply. I hope Imane takes all her money.

hope she wins the legal right to go 10 rounds with both of them at a time and place of her choosing timmy-pray

[-] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 91 points 1 month ago

Folks I'm starting to think she might be based as fuck

[-] Wheaties@hexbear.net 70 points 1 month ago

you can't call it cyber bullying in France, you have to say harcèlement à la demande

[-] Wheaties@hexbear.net 69 points 1 month ago

a few years ago, France made it illegal to say "podcast" on television or radio - they didn't like the English loaner word and insisted on "audio à la demande"

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 69 points 1 month ago

French culture stop being up its own ass challenge. Difficulty level: "difficil à la impossibil"

[-] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 17 points 1 month ago

Are the French still dedicated to that bit? I remember when they were doing anti-Arab bullshit laws around 2010 where they were """"preserving the language."""" I would have thought they'd wear themselves out when they realize languages don't stop changing just because your stupid fucking HOA of a government says so.

Or else it's just sparkling assholery. the-more-you-know

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 68 points 1 month ago

GOOD. Get their asses, take them to the fucking cleaners.

She should sue Rowling under UK law it would be a much stronger case, the law here is extremely strong for defamatory shit.

i hope there's this thing where they have such massive and overpaid teams of lawyers that the sheer number of egos makes them effectively incompetent and unable to coordinate with each other and she takes a shit load of money from them (i guess whatever assets the French state can appropriate?)

They're both too rich to be affected by a lawsuit outside of their ego, but with how SLAPP suit happy Rowling is, this is still funny. Hopefully she has a meltdown on twitter over it.

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 34 points 1 month ago

Her time will be massively wasted by it so that's a good thing one way or another. Even paying a bunch of people to handle it she'll still lose hundreds of hours.

[-] MF_COOM@hexbear.net 34 points 1 month ago

How easy is it to sue people who live in different countries? Is that even possible?

[-] ClimateChangeAnxiety@hexbear.net 29 points 1 month ago

It probably helps that those two have income from France. Elon bc Twitter operates in France and I’m pretty sure Teslas are sold there, Rowling bc Harry Potter shit is sold in France

[-] Sulvor@hexbear.net 16 points 1 month ago

Isn’t that income through a business they are employed at? Like Musk is CEO of Tesla but Tesla pays him in the US.

Idk about EU/French law but I think in the US you wouldn’t be able to get to it, same way these people are avoiding personal income tax.

I could be totally wrong.

[-] ClimateChangeAnxiety@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago

I also have no idea. I wouldn’t be surprised if Rowling has a closer connection and is more vulnerable, since they’re books and she’s the author and presumably the copyright holder?

An Algerian filing a complaint (unsure what that means here) in France against a Brit and a Yank, each of whom have companies registered in the EU (I think Tesla and Harry Potter have European subsidiaries) seems like lawyer hell.

[-] StalinStan@hexbear.net 14 points 1 month ago

The English libel laws are extremely annoying from what I remember so Rowling is likely to have to lawyer up real hard.

Hope Richard Dawkins is included too, I'm even praying for that.

[-] Hestia@hexbear.net 18 points 1 month ago

Doesn't he identify as a "cultural christian" or something like that now? Like, he still doesn't believe in God, he just hates brown people culture.

[-] Black_Mald_Futures@hexbear.net 29 points 1 month ago

Would she have better odds suing them in the UK though? I thoughtc they had really strict libel laws, idk anything about France though

Their freeze-peach being rabid assholes have finally caught up to them.

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 25 points 1 month ago

Give her Tesla and Harry Potter

[-] seas_surround@hexbear.net 22 points 1 month ago

hasn't she suffered enough?
