Record Labels Come Together, Sue Porn Site (RealityKings)

Had not seen it posted

http://www.tmz.com/2010/07/10/realit...-infringement/

"Don't Stop (Til You Get Enough)," "SexyBack" and "I Kissed a Girl" could easily be mistaken for porn titles, not popular songs -- instead they are just the center of a major lawsuit involving music and porn.

Warner Bros., Eleketra, Atlantic, Bad Boy and others have filed a lawsuit against RK Netmedia and RealityKings.com (NSFW!!!!) ... claiming the websites use their music as the soundtrack -- and sometimes even the inspiration -- for porn videos.

According to the lawsuit, the songs are often playing in the background while "models or actors are 'performing' their scenes." Sometimes, according to the suit, "the performers 'lip-sync' the lyrics of a song while engaged in intercourse or other sexual activity."

On some occasions, the record labels claim, the titles of the videos are derived from the songs they use -- like "Bringing Sexy Back" uses Justin Timberlake's "SexyBack."

The labels are asking for $150,000 per each copyright infringed -- and their are 18 pages of infringements.

Seems like the record labels are really stretching it a bit now, trying to make a dollars on any lawsuit they can.

Good. Violate a copyright and see where that gets you if you cross the wrong company.

Good. I spend enormous amounts of money creating original soundtracks because That's how it works. You either create your own or you buy a license for the work of others. Of course then others feel it's okay to just steal someone's work. Looks like the price for stealing is going to be much more than the price of producing original work.

Like they really uploaded those themselves. Funny shit.

"The actual videos where the music appears is a live reality show of what?s going on in a club; and that?s exactly the point, that we have no control over what occurs there and they are merely filming what?s actually happening."

No, really! Micah Moore and Eva Angelina ALWAYS show up at clubs to sick dick on a Saturday night! Don't blame us for having a camera handy, we don't have ANYTHING to do with it!
