UCLA Entertainment Law Review

It's the tape that launched a thousand clips Paris Hilton's

Celebrity Sex Video became a form of "Must See TV". Celebrities are

used to performing for the camera. But when Hilton was caught on

video, she reacted as many participants do when their celebrity sex

tapes are revealed they file a lawsuit. This article explores the

in a dispute over a celebrity sex tape. Copyright law presents an

important framework to consider. The torts of public disclosure of

private facts, intrusion upon seclusion, and the right of publicity may

also help protect one who wishes to nail his or her opponent.
