Kanye West Sex Tape: Lawyers Issue Threats

A lawyer has sent out threatening letters in response to the alleged Kanye West sex tape.

Lisa M. Buckley, West’s lawyer, has sent letters to websites that have reproduced images and video from the tape. The 20 minute video shows West having sex with a woman that looks like his current girlfriend, Kim Kardashian.

The letter from Buckley claims: “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. 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.”

Kardashian became internationally famous when her sex tape with rapper Ray J was released. Similarly, Paris Hilton used a sex tape to gain notoriety.
