MIAMI— www.AVN.com reports that Private Media Group subsidiary Fraserside IP this week filed suit against DrTuber.com, Igor Kovalchuk, Extron Worldwide Corporation and Era Technologies Limited.
The suit alleges copyright infringement by the tube site. The suit was filed in the same Miami federal court as was Kink.com’s suit, and by the same legal team, Jason Fischer from Randazza legal Group, along with attorney Chad Belville, who is working pro hac vice on the case.
The allegations are pretty much the same, as well.
Dr. Tuber is one of the most frequently visited websites in the world [it’s free]. One of the Private videos according to stats provided by the site has been viewed 10 million times.
The suit states: “Defendants enjoy direct financial benefits from unauthorized display of Plaintiff’s copyrighted content, which deprives Defendants of any safe harbor defenses under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.”
In ala Private cites “32 separate instances of copyright infringement of Plaintiff’s copyrighted and trademarked intellectual property.”
In addition to the regular plea for a preliminary and permanent injunction against DrTuber.com, Kovalchuk and anyone else associated with the running of the site, Private is seeking the transfer of the domain into its possession, enhanced damages and attorneys’ fees, pre-judgment and post-judgment interest and expert witness fees.
At $150,00 a pop times 32 individual cases of infringement, statutory damages work out to $4.8 million.
