New York, NY - Paris Hilton, the famous hotel heiress to the Hilton fortune, was angered by the ease with which visitors to Kazaa.com can freely download and share her sex video and has filed a copyright infringement suit against the company.
"When my client filmed those videos, she had no intention of it scattering across the Internet," said Hilton's attorney Keith Johnson. "Paris deserves retribution for loss of cash from this distribution. How can a girl make extra cash when her private smut is going around for free, rather than the standard retail value of $19.95?"
The suit alleges that Kazaa has violated three different areas of the law: copyright infringements, unlawful use of digital video interface device, and the Racketeering Influenced & Free Masturbation Act.
The suit also names the Columbia University, Rutgers College and president Dave Alperovich in their frequent daily downloads and viewings of the infamous video.
The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has sent cease-and-desist letters to school administrators and Mr. Alperovich advising them of the copyright violations involved. Mr. Alperovich, furious with the suit had nothing but harsh words in response.
