The Orlando Sentinel reports that Corbin Fisher is demanding that men4rentnow remove the 7 trademarked photos in addition to paying $150,000 in damages for each photo uploaded to the site. Other gay porn blogs posting this story are mistaken in reporting that 19-year-old Jake Lyons is at the center of the federal suit; while Jake is named in the papers, he is in fact not the defendant. It’s the escort site, men4rentnow, who is being ordered to pay the egregious sum. The escort site released a statement this morning:
Individual advertisers directly upload and post all of their own content and photos. Wintice Group does not post any content or photographs. Wintice is very mindful and respectful of intellectual property rights…
What makes this story so absurd is that every escort site out there is overflowing with trademarked studio pictures. Posting official studio stills has long been the primary way porn star escorts brand themselves on rentboy sites. Also: $1 million? Wut? Did someone throw up on someone’s nice carpet or something?
Here’s a look at Jake Lyons before he gets fucked a bunch in Jet Set’s Pizza Boy Gangbang:

Your post is incorrect … according to Marc J. Randazza, Fisher’s attorney, a comment by him left on Gay Porn Gossip he related the model was ALSO sued and named as a defendant in the action.

Actually, he is a defendant.

That may be the case for other studios, but Corbin Fisher’s contracts specify that its models are not permitted to use CF images for other commercial purposes, and that if a guy wants to be a CF model, he has to give up being an escort for a certain period of time. Mr. Kreuger’s ad claimed that he was “Corbin Fisher.”
