Will Durst’s Sex Tape Help Him Promote His New Album?

The Paris Hilton “hack” has had some influence on the sale of the Sidekick. As the New York Post reported, “T-Mobile stores in New York are selling out of Sidekicks (a handheld device that stores information online) despite or, more likely, because of the fact that celebrity phone numbers and naughty pictures were stolen off one belonging to bad-girl heiress Paris Hilton.”
Fred Durst is working on his new album. Suprisingly, a little sex tape was released. He pretended someone at this computer repair store had found and stolen it, but others assume that it had been the same “hacker” who hacked Paris’s Sidekick.
For me it looks very odd:
1 Durst is working on a new album
2 The tape was released about a week ago but didn’t get much exposure
3 Now he starts suing some file sharers for distributing it and demanding an absurd sum of money
Looks like the good old PR stunt of “insuring” one’s ass for a few million bucks just got a new “face.”
