Playboy Sues Site .... $72 Million
Sucks to be them, huh?? People think it's okay to steal. I'm not familiar with the site but I'd bet they're wishing they'd hidden any profits they made.
Playboy is fuming over a Web site that it says is publishing its centerfolds in an eyeball-grabbing slide show without permission.
Boingboing, a Web site that advocates for free content across the internet, had been running the lusty photos under the heading ?Every Playboy Playmate Centerfold Ever,? according to a copyright infringement suit filed Nov. 7 by Playboy Enterprises in federal court in California.
The suit names Happy Mutants LLC, parent company of boingboing, as a defendant.
Playboy Enterprises is demanding $150,000 per infringement ? or nearly $72 million for the 447 centerfolds that run from April 1960 until January 2016.
Boingboing had not returned a call seeking comment by press time.
