Hendrix Estate Says Vivid's Hendrix Sex Video Is A Fake
We, Experience Hendrix, the family company of Jimi Hendrix are aware of the release of the adult videotape which alleges to contain illicit footage of Jimi Hendrix. We strongly dispute the claimed authenticity and affirmatively state that Experience Hendrix is neither involved in, nor have we authorized the distribution of this film. Further, we deplore this obvious exploitation of Jimi Hendrix. We view the release as nothing more than a callous attempt to trade on the image and reputation of a deceased artist who is unable to defend himself against such an outrageous and baseless assertion. We are highly offended by the disgraceful portrayal.
While we do not wish to call undue attention to this desecration, we reserve all rights and remedies under the law to protect the character and legacy of Jimi Hendrix with which we have been charged and legally possess.

Several people who knew Hendrix have also stated that it can't be him, citing specific reasons such as, Hendrix had different facial/body features, and the fact that Hendrix didn't wear as many rings as the person purported to be Hendrix is wearing (I wonder if there are even any photos of Hendrix wearing the same jewlery he is wearing in the video).
Personally, I don't care whether or not the video shows the real Jimi Hendrix...Vivid really crossed a moral line in releasing the video, and I hope they gets their asses sued for doing so.
