Couldn't happen to a nicer family...
:rofl:

(CBS/AP) Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt has sued two of his nephews for selling their own line of adult movies under the same family name.

Flynt accuses the nephews of producing pornographic films that are "inferior products" and "knock-off goods." He said he filed the lawsuit Monday in U.S. District Court to protect his family name in the industry.

"To come into the adult entertainment business and use my name not only confuses people who buy my products, but if they're not maintaining a certain quality, it could also hurt my name," Larry Flynt told the Los Angeles Times on Tuesday.

Jimmy Flynt II and Dustin Flynt worked for their uncle for more than a decade before he fired them about a year ago. The brothers said they are trying to break into the business and have a right to use their family name.

4. Besides...how does someone tell that porn is "inferior product?"
I mean, do the nephews when they film someone stay out-of-focus?

Or do they show a close-up of Ron Jeremy's foot while we can hear some hot and heavy action going on?

:wtf:

5. There is good porn and bad porn.
Pretty easy to tell the cheap nasty stuff from quality erotica.

8. Me too for the reason he stated. People using your name for
an inferior product hurts your reputation whatever that may be. It's like people stealing your identity and getting a credit card with it that they abuse and ruin your credit rating with.

10. Well yeah. that too.
I understand not wanting anyone to bank on your name as well.

I wish someone would try to steal my identity. they would be sorely disappointed.
