I caught that too I think there were a couple of mentions about them intentionally concealing it by only showing it to their paying members, but then turning it around a few paragraphs later calming they were using it to drive traffic to their sites. I was also shocked at how much of the complaint was devoted to just a general attack on the evils of porn and Reality Kings in general. They went so far as to claim in the complaint the site was a fraud because it used professional porn actresses instead of real amateurs. It makes me think there isn?t as much substance here as they claim.

37. The harm to Plaintiffs is immediate, massive and obvious. In no
uncertain terms, Defendants have stolen Plaintiffs' sound recordings and musical
compositions and used them for a purpose that they know Plaintiffs and their
recording artists and/or songwriters would not consent to. Defendants have done
so in order to attract members to their website and thereby profit from the use.
