LOS ANGELES — Vivid Entertainment caught CelebrityCash infringing on copyrighted videos and sued them last September for poaching and uploading content on three of their membership sites. A settlement was announced Friday when both parties asked U.S. Judge James Otero to dismiss the case.
According to a www.xbiz.com story, terms of the settlement hadn't been revealed but Vivid originally was asking $1.2 million in the complaint.
The sites named in Vivid's original complaint include FemaleStars.com, ICelebOnline.com and CelebrityHardcore.com, and centered on material from the Vivid videos "Kim Kardashian Superstar," "Faithless" "Karrine Steffans Superhead," "Vince Neil & Janine — Hardcore" and "The Jimi Hendrix Sex Tape."
Vivid said that CelebrityCash had been infringing on the copyrighted videos, as well as copyright-pending videos "Jessica Sierra Superstar," "Kendra Exposed" and "Montana Fishbourne."
On Friday, both parties asked to dismiss the case, but federal judge Otero must sign off on the agreement.
