LOS ANGELES — As reported on www.xbiz.com a judge has granted XPays’ request for expedited discovery in its copyright infringement lawsuit against 843 unnamed John Does.

The suit, filed in January at U.S. District Court in Los Angeles by attorney Michael Fattorosi, claims the defendants copied and distributed unauthorized copies of the “Paris Hilton Sex Tape.”

The suit also said the Does are not only involved in rampant infringement but are causing other problems too.

XPays officially obtained the rights in 2004 to market the video on the Internet and is seeking injunctive relief, prohibiting each defendant from further infringing on its copyright and damages.

Adult Studio Red Light District has the exclusive for DVD distribution.
