Thumbs up Adult Star Vicki Vette Sues Rapidshare



Bob Johnson reports what may be a momentous occasion for the adult industry's fight against piracy. Norwegian beauty Vicki Vette came out as the first major adult star to sue the file sharing giant Rapidshare for giving away her movies for free when the company had no authority to do so.

Rapidshare recently won the fight in moving the legal proceedings in their German court rather than in the United States.

LOS ANGELES —Adult star Vicky Vette has filed a lawsuit against RapidShare A.G. claiming the company repeatedly uploaded her content and provided it free to web surfers.

Vette said she is the first major adult star to file a lawsuit against RapidShare.The suit was filed in Los Angeles County.

According to Vette's attorney, Michael Kernan, the suit centers around Vette's right of publicity. Kernan said that under California law, any actor has the right to protect their name and likeness. RapidShare, Kernan said, is illegally using Vette's likeness and content to sell memberships to its sites.

"RapidShare is trying to redefine itself as a Google, when in fact it is more like Napster and making a profit out of selling pirated content. It's downloading copyright protected material," Kernan said.
