                              Exactly. Verotel accepts payments for a lot of fringe/celeb type sites I wonder if they'll discontinue the practice if they lose the suit.

                                              .... took images and derivative works from the Hilton video and used them in tours and on their sites, resulting in the dilution of exclusive content.....

                                              Seems to me that the content was diluted long ago when it could be found anywhere and everywhere...

If you do not get the lawsuit from the company who owns the rights, you are going to get it from the celebrity, or one of her reps.

                                                                                      Sex tapes will bring you more grief than just about anything.

                                                                                      I would say it ranks higher than Perfect 10, Playboy, and Suze Randall. Most people know this shit is something to stay away from. But with each new celebrity sex tape, you always hear of some fucking greedy dickhead mass producing, reselling, or cutting into the profits of the company who has the rights.
