My Take On The Paris Hilton Wars

KROSH-

You are not informed.
I love you man and I know you are a great guy, as well as XXX Cash is a great company. However the fact of the matter is- you are being led down the wrong road here in terms of information.

There is a reason why Evan and Hotel Heiress have the site they do-
it's called OWNING THE COPYRIGHT.

Now with that in mind, the problems most everyone has in using Paris pics is simply ROP
RIGHTS OF PUBLICITY-

It's a big reason why Evan's site is called Hotelheiress.com and not Paris Hilton Naked.com

Secondly, you must own the rights to the pics you are hosting-
The pics you have are NOT LICENSED. Period.

Public domain only can only be used in the situation where a celebrity is photographed in PUBLIC- on public property.

Not getting out of her car, not her cell phone pics, and not in her own home.

If you had pics of Paris that YOU took on a beach in LA
DIFFERENT story.

I don't see those kinds of pics anywhere however, and in my opinion ( and I think I know what I am talking about) you are clearly infringing.

After extensive hours in Lavely and Singer's offices in Century City- I got a lesson in Celebrities Rights 101.

Cameron Diaz, Liz Jagger, and Vida Guerra have all been saved from the wrath of pornographers this month-

There is a reason why these videos did not see the light of day- and a reason why I am not a millionaire off of them.

You'll see that the next thing I put my name on will be the real deal, becasue I know the criterium needed.

If you have any legal questions KROSH about this I'd be glad to help educate you you can hit me up at 98863229 ICQ
