Artist publishing and distribution
play a huge role in the success of an artist.
An artist’s primary goal is to successfully publish and distribute its
content to its fans. Sometimes the wrong
videos/content can be distributed and become degrading to the artist. Recently many artists have been plagued by
sex tapes that have been leaked by fans who go too over the top. Recently in entertainment news many artist’s
such as Hulk Hogan, Nikki Minaj, Paris Hilton, and now Justin Bieber have been
exposed. This distribution is unwanted
and spreads like wild fire.
Hulk Hogan has decided to take matters in
his own hands and hire the FBI to track down the person responsible for leaking
his sex tape. One interesting thing
about this case is that Hulk had to consult the FBI since local authorities in
Florida would not pick up the case. The
claimed that since it was recorded several years ago the statue of limitations
would limit , and discipline being taken.
Also the jurisdiction conflict was present since the tape was not
actually filmed in Florida. The question is will the ever find who did
this? Will the Hulk ever receive justice
for this incident. Who would ever do
this to Hulk Hogan?
Hulk Hogan is not
the first person to be attacked by viral sex videos. Young hip hop sensation Justin Beiber is
undergoing the same exposure. A sex tape
was leaked on this young star just a few days ago. My question is are these actual tapes or is
someone really good ad Adobe. Is it
illegal to violate someone’s privacy like this?
If caught what would happen to the person who did this? Do current distribution and copyright laws
touch on sex tape distribution by someone else?
Technology, new websites, new ways of uploading and downloading have
opened up many avenues for fans to get closer to celebrities.
