Paris Hilton's sex tape leads to lawsuits

Are you planning to watch Paris Hilton's infamous sex tape from 2004 without paying for it? If so, you better be prepared for a lawsuit.

According to multiple reports, the company who owns the rights to "1 Night in Paris" has filed a lawsuit against 843 people who decided to snag the video -- which featured the upcoming Oxygen reality star with then-boyfriend Rick Saloman -- by unauthorized means. All of these offenders were those who tried to watch the video within the past year.

Hilton's sex tape to many started a precedent in which people could become famous thanks to X-rated content. Kim Kardashian infamously had a tape with Ray J, and this "phenonmenon" also recently claimed a new alum in Kendra Wilkinson.

Do you really think this tape merits so much attention (and even lawsuits) nearly seven years later? To view recent images of Paris, follow the link here.
