Not from from authorities that are supposed to be telling you the truth.
I can't.
I haven't grown up being told lies like this is a real, real hot issue for me.
It is not OK to lie to people.
Let the truth speak for you, because because then what you get is someone who just says, fuck it.
I can't trust anything that you're telling me.
Where's my penis?
I don't believe it's tucked up inside.
We've read the fine print.
Eat up, smoke up.
So remember we talked about Quentin Tarantino's script for Hateful Eight leaking and he โ because he gave it to only six people.
Somehow it leaked online and then he was so upset that he said that he's not going to shoot it.
After all, he's just going to release it as a book.
Well, now he is suing Gawker, Gawker Media, for circulating the script.
So Defamer, which is part of Gawker Media, it's a website, posted or put up a post titled Here is the Leaked Quentin Tarantino Hateful Eight Script.
And this post had download links to the script.
So now Tarantino is suing Gawker and the lawsuit says Gawker Media has made a business of predatory journalism, violating people's rights to make a book.
This time they went too far.
Rather than merely publishing a news story reporting that plaintiff's screenplay may have been circulating in Hollywood without his permission, Gawker Media crossed the journalistic line by promoting itself to the public as the first source to read the entire screenplay illegally.
The complaint says that Gawker refused repeat demands to remove the links, including submissions of DMCA notices of copyright infringement.
