NEW YORK – [Peter Warren writes on avn.com]- Red Light District and owner David Joseph have been served with a lawsuit filed by Amy Fisher in U.S. District Court seeking compensation for alleged copyright infringement, emotional distress and other damages resulting from the promotion of and intent to sell a sex video made by Fisher and her then-husband, Louis Bellera.
The complaint charges Joseph and RLD Distribution with entering into an agreement in or about August 2007 with Bellera “for the sale, distribution and/or exploitation” of the video, even though, as it states, “RLD expressly and explicitly knew, at the time of entering into agreement with Bellera, that Bellera alone could not grant RLD any license or right to distribute and/or exploit the
in any manner or respect without the written consent of the Plaintiff. Bellera and RLD entered into said agreement without the prior knowledge or consent of Plaintiff.”
