LOS ANGELES — FriendFinder Networks Inc. is back in court. This time it’s filing a lawsuit suit against Twistbox Entertainment, alleging the company continued to publish and permit third parties to distribute hundreds of copyrighted Penthouse titles for two years after its contract was terminated.

The suit was filed in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles. According to a story by www.xbiz.com, the lawsuit claims Twistbox’s WATT Media Corp. division entered into a deal with FriendFinder’s Penthouse division in May 2006 but after three years the agreement was terminated due to a breach in the mobile content distribution agreement.

The alleged infringing material FriendFinder claims in the suit comprises more than 500 pieces of Penthouse’s catalog, including works from Shay Laren, Heather Vandeven, Penthouse’s “AdultFriendFinder.com’s Guide to Threesomes,” Forum magazine and Penthouse magazine archives going back as far as 1969.

Although the contract was terminated in 2009, FriendFinder says that Twistbox chose to ignore the severed deal and streamed its content on its site as well as providing it to third parties.

The alleged infringing material FriendFinder claims in the suit comprises more than 500 pieces of Penthouse’s catalog.

The copy infringement suit seeks damages, treble damages and injunctive relief, among other demands.
