MARCH 4--One week after a sex video starring Fred Durst began circulating on the Internet, the Limp Bizkit front man has filed a $80 million lawsuit against web sites that posted the footage and stills from the singer's X-rated romp with a former girlfriend. In a federal copyright infringement/invasion of privacy complaint filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, Durst notes that he recorded the racy video around 2003 (with the consent of his partner) and that it was "never intended to be shown to the public." In a declaration filed with the lawsuit, Peter Katsis, Durst's personal manager, states that he was contacted last December by the "owner of a pornographic video company" who claimed to have access, via a third party, to a video showing Durst having sex. Katsis said he rejected the individual's offer to sell the video and share the profits. Katsis said that he eventually spoke directly with the third party, who is not identified, and again rejected proposals to commercially exploit the video.

Hence the time tested... NEVER film anything...then this sort of problem will never happen.
Hence the old saying...any man who brings a camcorder to a Bachelor party is just asking for a massive beatdown.

some psychologist would argue ANY thing you put on paper is meant to be read, ANY thing put on tape is meant to be heard, and ANY thing put on film is meant to be seenYea but that psychologist would be an idiot without common sense.
If I write something down to remind myself, maybe I want to see it, it doesn't mean I want the public to view it, if I put something on Tape or Film, it might be for my own personal use or limited to friends and family, not for public consumption.
Its a dangerious arguement that could be used to erode civil liberties and privacy, but in Fred Dursts case, I think this is a publicity stunt.

I got news for the Limpster, the size of the lawsuit doesn't make up for your other shortfalls.It looks like Limp feels his performance on the tape fell short of expectations.
