Actually it’s very simple really. Harvey Levin at TMZ and Steve Hirsch are buddies, and if you’ll notice it’s RadarOnLine that has been breaking stories about the latest HIV patients. Meanwhile TMZ remains amazingly silent on the issue. Oh, by the way, that Tami Erin [Pippi Longstocking] sex tape ain’t going to Vivid.

I’m told that Hirsch’s finagling with the moratorium not only kills that deal but will probably jeopardize future ones. But you probably won’t read that on TMZ.
