MindGeek Issues Reaction to MetArt Copyright/Trademark Lawsuit

CYPRUS—MindGeek, the adult conglomerate that produces adult movies and web content under several different production companies and websites, has issued its reaction to the lawsuit filed on August 27 charging that adult site PornhubPremium.com has infringed on copyrights and trademarks owned by Hydentra L.P., the parent company of MetArt.com and SexArt.com. "The lawsuit filed by Metart is frivolous," said MindGeek in a statement issued today. "MindGeek is astonished that MetArt has chosen MindGeek, its long-time content partner, as the next target of its newly adopted business model of filing baseless claims. "MetArt has ignored in its filing that MindGeek has contractual arrangements with MetArt with respect to its content. MindGeek categorically denies MetArt’s infringement allegations. "MindGeek believes that the true purpose of this lawsuit in fact is simply for Metart to 'make a quick buck' and obtain an unjustified payment from MindGeek. "By ignoring the agreements between it and MindGeek, MetArt has launched a wholly unjustified attack on MindGeek," said Catherine Dunn, Vice President, Global Communications for MindGeek. "We refuse to be intimidated by this shameful action and will vigorously and aggressively enforce our rights, including by bringing counterclaims against MetArt for their actions." The Hydentra/MetArt/SexArt complaint can be read here.
