Chicago, IL commercial litigation attorney Peter S. Lubin talks about a memorable case involving the first amendment and cyberbullying. He represented both plaintiffs and defendants in cyberbullying cases. One case involved a man named David Bates, who decided to make 120 YouTube videos attacking a card dealer. He was sued in federal court before he hired him. The judge entered an injunction. By the time the case was over, they dropped the whole lawsuit. They insisted on going to mediation over 20 of the videos he had posted on the internet.

The judge found that all of his videos could remain on the internet because he was within his First Amendment rights to criticize the card dealer. He had a happy client who was able to continue exercising his First Amendment rights.
