from new york daily news
Limp Bizkit lead singer Fred Durst struck back at the Web sites that posted X-rated video clips of him romping with an ex-girlfriend with an $80 million lawsuit yesterday.
"The Video was never intended by either participant to be shown," the lawsuit states.
Durst, who explained in court papers how he "held the camera," said computer hackers stole the video from his hard drive and posted it without his permission.
Secret Service agents looking into Paris Hilton's cell phone hacking are also conducting "an elaborate investigation" into the Durst incident, the papers state.
Among the sites being sued is the Manhattan-based Gawker, which featured the Durst dalliance in a Feb. 25 posting.
Gawker founder Nick Denton said they took down the link three days before they heard from Durst's lawyers.
"We don't get it - we complied before you even got around to wasting paper on us," he wrote.
Maybe it's because Gawker described Durst's anatomy as "unimpressive."
