Kid Rock Sues to Stop Sale of Sex Video

Kid Rock has won an initial victory in his attempt to stop a California company from releasing an explicit sex video featuring the rap-rocker, former Creed singer Scott Stapp and four women.
U.S. District Court Judge John Feikens signed a temporary order that stops David Joseph and his World Wide Red Light District company from posting a preview clip of the video on its Web sites.
On Tuesday, Kid Rock's lawyers sued Red Light, which made headlines in 2004 by distributing the Paris Hilton sex video, accusing the firm of violating Kid Rock's trademark and privacy rights. The lawsuit seeks a permanent court order halting sale or distribution of the video.
"We don't deny the authenticity of the tape," Kid Rock's lawyer, William Horton, told the Detroit Free Press. "But they're using this without his permission to drive the sales of their other products."
"Even rock stars are entitled to privacy," said co-counsel Michael Novak.
The temporary order covers only a 40-second preview. The order remains in effect until a court hearing Friday, even though the company removed it from the Internet last week after receiving a cease-and- desist order from Stapp's lawyers.
Red Light lawyer Ray Tamaddon said he couldn't comment on the lawsuit because he hadn't seen it. But he said the company is confident that it is within its legal rights.
"These are public figures, and the standards are different," he said.
In an affidavit filed with the lawsuit, Kid Rock, who was born Robert Ritchie, said the video was shot in 1999 near Miami. At the time, Stapp was the lead singer of Creed.
Kid Rock said in the lawsuit filing that it was clearly understood that the video would remain Stapp's private property and would not be displayed publicly.
Joseph has said previously that he got the tape from a third party. It involved women from a strip club and was taken in a motor home, he said.

I guess that means Pammy Anderson isn't in this video. |

He wanted it to be seen and sold, no doubt about that, its the best way for him to stay in the news. He sure as hell won't stay in the headlines because of his music, his last 2 albums bombed. |

Or was he unable to perform (see Chicago Creed concert where fans sued them for being in no condition to perform) |

They should have known by listening to a Creed album that the band was never in any condition to perform anywhere. |

BY THE WAY ...
HEPATITIS C is NOT an STD ...
hep-c is a blood-to-blood virus, very rare to get it thru sex, most people who have it got it from sharing needles or from sharing tattoo needles or from a blood transfusion before 1994 when they started testing the blood supply... it is a virus that slowly attacks and destroys your liver, could happen quick, mostly happens very very slowly, most people dont even know they have it, if you have it watch yer drinking becuz drinking with hep-c accelerates the liver deteriation ....
unfortunatley the word has not really got out yet about hep-c, people think it is just like aids which it is NOT, many, many, many in the music biz are affected by this disease, Phil Lesh & David Crosby have both had liver transplants because of it ... the only treatment right now is not very effective, only 50% chance of getting rid of it, so expect the casualties to mount in the future...
and if you ever shot up, get tested... |
