Did you know that inducing, taking, or publishing nekkid pictures of frolicking spring breakers could land the images-purveyor in a federal lawsuit for damages? If you didn't, now you do.
The Eleventh Circuit — which, yes, does include Daytona Beach, Florida — ruled yesterday that one such frolicker didn't have a claim despite video of her, er, involvement "in two wet T-shirt contests, which were observed by a crowd of 300 to 400 people, many of whom had video cameras." Tilton v. Playboy Entertainment Group, Inc., No. 07-15447, slip op. at 3 (11th Cir. Jan. 15, 2009). Just shy of 18 at the time, Ms. Tilton also "participated" in contests that required simulation of sex. Id. She lost the case because, the court held, the fakeness was apparent.
Speaking of apparents, Blawgletter wonders where they were — if not during the festivities, at least when their daughter chose to file a lawsuit that further publicized her youthful indiscretions?
