LOS ANGELES--A Superior Court judge in California has issued an order that allows the leading adult film studio, Vivid Entertainment Group, to go forward with a major lawsuit against Playboy Enterprises (NYSE: PLA).

Superior Court Judge Ralph W. Dau ruled in the case, filed in April, in which Vivid has alleged that Playboy violated terms of a 10-year film output agreement for broadcast of Vivid films on cable TV networks, including the Playboy Channel, and as part of video on demand adult television packages.

"This is the first victory in a lawsuit that will show that Playboy did not pay us what they owed us and did not keep proper records," said Bill Asher, co-chairman of Vivid Entertainment. "The judge's action means that we can proceed to sue for recovery of amounts owed us as well for damages. The suit will affirm that we had the right to terminate an agreement that Playboy has violated and we are now free to negotiate with third parties and to compete with Playboy. We anticipate that the eventual result of this lawsuit could be worth tens of millions of dollars to Vivid and we are looking forward to proceeding to the discovery phase."

Mr. Asher said Vivid will vigorously press its original suit, which alleges Playboy failed to pay significant amounts mandated by agreements that were part of Playboy's purchase of three cable TV networks from Vivid in 2001.

There are good reasons to be in the US ... like a compagny that makes $4 million profits a year is worth $500 mills...

Way to go Vivid. Playboy pays their models low amounts of money. Playmates only get $25k and have to sign over their domain names, even the hyphenated versions.
