This is good news.

And, a suit based on 2257 to boot - two birds with one stone.

Porn Giant Sues Over XXX YouTube Clone
Vivid Entertainment Says Do-It-Yourself Porn Site Unfair

POSTED: 11:21 am EST December 11, 2007

The latest online copyright battle doesn't involve pirated music or movies, but X-rated videos.

Adult video producer Vivid Entertainment is suing PornoTube and its parent company in federal court.

PornoTube is a YouTube knockoff that allows users to post X-rated video clips.

Vivid claims some of those short sex clips are from its copyrighted, full-length videos.

Vivid said it is required by law to record the ages and birth names of its performers. The suit claims PornoTube has an unfair competitive advantage because it doesn't always have to do that sort of paperwork.

There was no immediate comment yet from the PornoTube camp.
