Among his famous lawsuits filed, Norm Zada of Perfect 10 includes Microsoft, Google and Amazon.com. Now add RapidShare, Vicky Vette’s favorite entity.

In Zada’s latest courtroom tiff, a judge has denied RapidShare’s motion requesting a lawsuit filed by Zada to be postponed and moved to Germany.
Instead, the court, according to a story reported on by www.xbiz.com ruled that the hearing on a preliminary injunction filed by Perfect 10 should remain set for May 12 and heard in San Diego’s U.S. District Court.

Zada filed a preliminary injunction April 12 against RapidShare, claiming that the company is stealing, copying and selling his copyrighted material.

Rapidshare’s attorneys have filed a memorandum stating that RapidShare believes they should not be forced to litigate on the merits when the threshold issue of jurisdiction has not yet been determined and that Perfect 10 has declined to provide RapidShare with the links to files it asserts are among hundreds of millions of user files on RapidShare’s site. RapidShare says it would gladly remove them Perfect 10 shared this information.

Zada says it’s not his obligation to come up with those links and that RapidShare needs to stop selling what they don’t own. Zada also goes on to state that RapidShare admits to selling the content, but not copying it claiming anonymous third parties are responsible for putting the material on its servers which are located in Germany.

RapidShare’s memorandum also claims that it doesn’t sell Perfect 10 images or any content, that it’s a storage site where users can store and share files and view licensed content, including video games and movie trailers from Warner Brothers in Germany.

Claiming that he’s in the throes of downsizing his company which is on the verge of bankruptcy as well limiting his personal lifestyle, Zada estimates he has lost at least $60 million fighting copyright infringement which the US Government doesn’t seem too keen on prosecuting.
