LOS ANGELES ? Pink Visual has filed a $4.5 million lawsuit against the operator of ClipHunter.com, charging that the tube site has streamed 30 of its titles in a coordinated scheme to generate mass web traffic and then monetize it.
The suit targets operator Justin Eleazer, as well as several companies he controls ? Green Park Holdings and Gotys Productions ? over the Pink Visual videos that allegedly ended up on the ClipHunter.com. Eleazer also is said to control PicHunter.com and PicHunterBlog.com.
Pink Visual maintains in the suit that ClipHunter, which reaches about 600,000 to 1 million surfers in the U.S. per day, enables users to upload and obtain copies of a vast library of infringing adult video content for free and that it first noticed copies appearing on its site in April.
"Defendants appear to maintain the fiction that they offer a forum for users to upload and share their own original 'user-generated' adult video content; however, in reality, they function as repositories for large collections of copyrighted, professionally made adult videos ...," the suit said.
The goal, Pink Visual counsel says, is to capitalize on the mass web traffic it creates.

thru a chain of coincidences gotys and this lawsuit came up for me several times the last few days - heard some odd gossip about it. I did a search here for his nick and this was the most recent post referring to him, so instead of starting a thread, I am hijacking mutts thread.
