Clearly that one went over my head...
What 2loot3boot said. A tort (what the "tortious intent" refers to) is a specific action that violates someone's legal rights. If I take your car, I've committed a number of torts (civil theft, conversion -- treating your car like it's mine, etc.)
Making fun of someone does not violate their legal rights in a way that creates a tort. They could claim that he's libeling them, but he wouldn't be doing the recording for the purpose of libeling them on poal, so it would still fail.
Thanks for the write up. This is why I hire lawyers.
I literally misread that as "torturous", like a damn illiterate...
Super, super common. We can spend days explaining what "tortious interference" is to a jury in a trial and they still hear "torturous interference" ... which doesn't even make sense.
