(AllHipHop News) A law firm
representing rapper Kanye West has issued
a takedown notice, surrounding
controversial images stemming from a sex
tape being shopped to various media outlets,
from an anonymous source.
A lawyer for Kanye West issued the
demand today (September 23), claiming the
sex tape in question was “stolen” from
Kanye’s computer.
“Be advised that the Screen Shot, as well as
the Tape from which the Screen Shot was
taken, were illegally obtained and believed
to have been stolen from Mr. West’s
computer,” Kanye’s lawyer Lisa M.
Buckley of Pryor Cashman said in a legal
document sent to AllHipHop.com.
“Your posting, advertising, marketing,
displaying and otherwise disseminating
the stolen Screen Shot and/or other
materials on the Tape constitute actionable
violations of Mr. West’s rights of privacy
and publicity,” Buckley said.
Buckley warned a variety of media outlets
against posting the images from the
Kanye sex tape, or there could be serious
legal percussions.
“We hereby demand that you: (1)
immediately cease and desist from posting,
advertising, marketing, displaying and
disseminating the illegally obtained Screen
Shot of Mr. West,” the notice reads.
Kanye West’s lawyer is also seeking
information on who is shopping the tape to
various media outlets, since the tape is in
high demand.
Sex.com has already offered $1 million to
the anonymous person.
Vivid Video’s honcho Steve Hirsch , who
released Kim Kardashian’s original sex
tape with Ray J., said that Kanye’s could
be the most valuable sex tape ever sold on
the market.
“It depends on the quality of the tape, the
length, the lighting, the sex,” Hirsch said.
“But something like this could go for a
couple of million dollars. I don’t think
there has ever been a sex tape with a star of
this magnitude. Tommy Lee was big, but
this is a different world and Kanye is a
special guy. He’s everywhere.”
