Default Re: Devinn Lane Files Suit Against Vivid, Digital Playground, Others

Michael, my only two comments: 1) She did work before wicked, including penthouse and others, and 2) does a Wicked exclusive contact mean that Wicked does not have resale or reuse rights on the content produced, including rights like resale for net use?
Okay -- one comment

Here's what most people need to understand -- just because you guys shoot a girl does not give you unfettered rights to her name... this is a rather common misperception. There are literally hundreds of names being squatted on, or best case scenerio for me -- infringed upon. With a MR, you can use her name - trademarked or not - after the top level domain name. ie., devinnlanexxx.com - not legal www.pornstars.com/devinnlane.htm -- perfectly acceptable. Even if Wicked did resell content to Vivid or DP, which I cant imagine they would do -- those rights will not include trademark rights. She owns her trademark.
