Lawsuit for the day


The Associated Press has an article about a squabble over Kate Moss:
Lawyers for Playboy magazine are suing Harper's Bazaar publisher Hearst Communications over its online use of photos of fashion model Kate Moss.
Court papers filed in Federal court in Manhattan say the magazine violated Playboy's exclusive right to publish the pictures, taken by fashion photographers Mert Alas and Marcos Piggott for the publication's sixtieth anniversary issue (photo above).
The suit alleges Harper's posted on its website a clothed photo of the forty-year-old supermodel from the Playboy shoot, but added a hyperlink that took readers to another website showing the nude and partially nude photo spread.
The lawsuit seeks $150,000 per photo infringed.
Moss has been a star since she was discovered as a teenager in the late 1980s.
Rico says he's not sure he wants to see nude photos (like the one below) of Moss (a trifle skinny for his taste), but this is just work for the lawyers...
