Update: Woman Wins $5 Million in Topless Videotape Suit (someone had posted about this here before. As I thought, she didn't give written consent even though she was in a public place so she is owed money, just like with the motorcycle magazine suit I cited. I think the key to her winning this case was that she was drunk.) A Texas woman who was videotaped taking off her top at a spring break party won a $5-million judgment from the producers of "Wild Party Girls" videos after she spotted herself in a TV ad for the tapes. Amber Kulhanek, 22, a senior at Southwest Texas State University, sued Arco Media, the Florida-based producers of the risque videos made famous in late-night TV ads. Kulhanek took action after her picture appeared in an ad for the videos that aired on cable networks. "She never signed a consent to have anybody film it," said attorney David Sergi. "Quite frankly, she was too drunk to legally give a valid consent." If you want other stories on this topic, search the Archives at latimes.com/archives.
