Wow.

He's such a tool, though. He's loving the attention.

stev0 · 03-04-2005, 03:56 PM

He should be suing the kid that hacked him, not sites that happened to post the video afterwards..

Fake Nick · 03-04-2005, 03:57 PM

lol, how ignorant

Fletch XXX · 03-04-2005, 03:57 PM

smart move though you gotta admit, his lawyers must be getting PAID

"The lawsuit also accuses Gawker Media and the other companies of infringing on Durst?s copyright, since he was the author of the work. Durst also registered the video with the Register of Copyrights on Feb. 28."

I like it, and goto respect it.

Most you dumb fucks have no rationality regarding COPYRIGHT law and the rights to Privacy.

Manowar · 03-04-2005, 04:02 PM

Not really suprising.

cherrylula · 03-04-2005, 04:07 PM

yes its true, stealing is bad.

Its amazing how people still turn their heads until its their content being stolen and posted.

spoken like someone who has never owned a copyright to anything in his life.

the video was PRVATe before released, afterwards, I am sure his lawyer told him the first thing to do is ? the work and make him the author. and regardless, he was the ?-holder and author. case closed.

stick to trolling, you clearly have no knowledge of copyright or business in general.

cherrylula · 03-04-2005, 04:13 PM

Copyright protection subsists from the time the work is created in fixed form. The copyright in the work of authorship immediately becomes the property of the author who created the work. Only the author or those deriving their rights through the author can rightfully claim copyright.

cherrylula · 03-04-2005, 04:14 PM

that's right kiddies, the moment you create something its yours, its proving that you did so and before others that is difficult.

however in this case its pretty obvious Fred made the video himself.

There have been some interesting conversations on the forum of my paris hacked site, one member claims she knows the identity of the girl-

you didnt know that until cherry posted it.

and you didnt say that.

in a court, a hard copy and legal ? doesnt hurt, so laughing at him doing so, proves you were clueless.

No money in that. Sue someone who can at least cover your own legal fees.

ehmm, I did know that

I was laughing at the person stating those irrelevant facts

Wiggles · 03-04-2005, 04:46 PM

most attention he's gotten in years, probably brought lawsuit just to get even more attention for it, then will sell rights.

AsianDivaGirlsWebDude · 03-04-2005, 04:55 PM

It makes sense that Durst's lawyers went after Fleshbot et al, since they are the ones currently hosting the content, and the injunction can be enforced against them.

I'm just a little curious though, because it seems as if more and more celebrities are cashing in their fame for some porn coin, and more fame.

Pamela Anderson and Paris Hilton also filed lawsuits, but it seems as if nothing came of these (at least so far). It just provided more publicity for the tapes. Even if they didn't own the copyright, supposedly they didn't sign releases either.

I want to see Carmen Electra do it on camera with her newest hubby Dave Navarro (guitarist for Red Hot Chili Peppers and Jane's Addiction), although I would want them to release it and profit from it, and not some dirtbag(s) who stole it and released it without permission.

BTW, lots of rappers (Snoop Dogg etc) have appeared as hosts (not performers) for tapes, and there was talk of some rocker doing the same - anybody remember who that was?

I just got off the phone with the editor of Fleshbot. Fleshbot did NOT host the video. They are being sued for LINKING to sites that host it.

That is fucked up. If a celeb tape is online (legal or not), that is news and fleshbot and other bloggers should have every right to talk about and link to the sites. Now, suing the people that host it is entirely different.

I think it was Johnathan Davis (singer) from Korn. His wife is an ex-pornstar.

Thanks Wiz...yeah, that's the guy.

I found this article dated over three years ago about that - sure taking him a long time to get a video out:

Interesting. While I'm sure this pisses off the Flesh crew, it sounds like it could turn out rather awesomely for them. They might have to spend $50k in legal fees and a fair amount of time, but they've got a very solid case, so I can't imagine they'd lose. Meanwhile, Limp Fred will drive a new level publicity and traffic their way.

If they weren't a news-like site, I think their defense would be harder...a lot of people think they *should* be able to link to other sites, since they're just links, but I think the RIAA has pushed through some laws that make such linking questionable. However, being a new-like site, and discussing the content on the copyright-violating sites rather than just providing links, provides some fair use and freedom-of-press defenses that other sites might not enjoy.
