Goldman Files Lawsuit Against File-Sharing Site
By Celeb Stink: 2007-11-30 17:31:12
The father of Ron Goldman is taking legal action against a file-sharing website
which has posted O.J. Simpson's book If I Did It.
Fred Goldman owns the rights to the tome, in which the shamed former football star places himself at the scene of the 1994 killings of Goldman and his friend Nicole Brown, and claims he has lost over $150,000 (£75,000) in sales profits since Swedish site The Pirate Bay made the book available for free downloading. Goldman's attorneys have sent a letter demanding the site's operators stop posting the book. However the defendants have indicated "they are not subject to the laws of the United States." The lawsuit seeks to recover profits from the "illegal publication" of the book - as the Goldman estate could lose out on a substantial sum as a court ruled they will receive 90 per cent of the book's profits. David Cook, Goldman's attorney, says, "Ron Goldman LLC will never be able to stop these pirates from posting that book online but they can do that in the poorhouse." Goldman's father Fred and sister Kim were awarded the publishing rights to the book by a federal judge in Florida in July (07) after campaigning to stop Simpson releasing the tome last year (06). Simpson has paid very little of the $33.5 million (£16.75 million) in damages he was ordered to pay to the Goldman family by a civil court after being sued for wrongful death - with the Goldmans hoping to recoup part of this sum through If I Did It.
