The lead singer of nu-metal band Limp Bizkit has filed a
copyright infringement suit against the operators of 10 web sites
that posted clips of a raunchy home video that was allegedly hacked
from his home computer, according to reports.
The homemade pornographic video has been circulating on-line
since first being posted in late-February.
The lawsuit, filed last week in a Los Angeles district court,
names various web sites and ISPs, including Gawker Media,
Everyone's Internet, Peer1 Network and Verio. It seeks a temporary
restraining order and damages of up to $80 million.
According to The Smoking Gun, the hack may have been carried out
by the same people who somehow hacked the data on a T-Mobile
Sidekick PDA/phone of hotel heiress Paris Hilton last month, and
posted the contents on-line.
