Now can people get slapped around for using the name?

It's possible that Hendrix filmed himself having sex, lot's of people do, that doesn't mean that they want the whole world to see it.
On a technical note, back in the 60's, film had to be developed, and even a person of Hendrix' stature would have had difficulty getting a sex film processed (particularly if it involved multiple partners and interracial sex - remember, what we take for granted, was taboo 40 years ago).
I don't know the legalities surrounding whether Vivid has a right to use the name Jimi Hendrix, whether or not it is actually Hendrix depicted. I'm fairly certain that Vivid's thinks that they are on solid legal ground.
It will be interesting to see what the next move will be by the Hendrix Estate.
