"Don't Stop (Til You Get Enough)," "SexyBack" and "I Kissed a Girl" could easily be mistaken for porn titles, not popular songs -- instead they are just the center of a major lawsuit involving music and porn.

Warner Bros., Eleketra, Atlantic, Bad Boy and others have filed a lawsuit against RK Netmedia and RealityKings.com (NSFW!!!!) ... claiming the websites use their music as the soundtrack -- and sometimes even the inspiration -- for porn videos.

According to the lawsuit, the songs are often playing in the background while "models or actors are 'performing' their scenes." Sometimes, according to the suit, "the performers 'lip-sync' the lyrics of a song while engaged in intercourse or other sexual activity."

On some occasions, the record labels claim, the titles of the videos are derived from the songs they use -- like "Bringing Sexy Back" uses Justin Timberlake's "SexyBack."

The labels are asking for $150,000 per each copyright infringed -- and their are 18 pages of infringements.

    Lol. Some stories do make me chuckle!
  • In this case I hope the labels win...and they should. We don't want our children stumbling upon such tasteless websites and we certainly don't want people confused thinking they are associated with musicians who would never endorse such behavior. Just my opinion, of course.

  • WELL.... and there's our TMZ message! We haven't heard from them in awhile. Remember everyone... "Don't Stop Till You Get Enough!". <!-- s:D -->:D<!-- s:D -->

    I'm trying to imagine a porn movie where the 'actors' are trying to do what they do on the beat of "Don't Stop 'Till You Get Enough". Now that's what I call burning calories!

    I don't think that song is very suitable for a porn movie, don't they mostly have that ridiculously annoying holiday-like kind of music? Must indeed be a message from a too quiet TMZ to keep on going. That makes more sense to me than this. But hey, I'm not a porn movie expert, so I could be wrong! <!-- s:lol: -->:lol:<!-- s:lol: -->

    @Souza

    I thought that too - but was too embarrassed to post it. I thought that "don't stop till you get enough' was the message for us, cos the rest just does not make any sense for the hoax.

    I could understand if they had Dirty Diana, or Give in to Me but even those are probably suited for just an xrated movie not hard core porn - lol.

    I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss the REALITY of Therealitykings.com website.

    It Is a REAL pornsite, I have heard of it before this.
    I went and checked it out just now. lol

    Not my thang but I am a curious cat.

    Peace
  • ROFL - this turned to an MJ likes porn thread...

    but honestly there are times when porn is not such a bad thing LOL

  • Hate to be the bearer of bad news guys...
    Michael actually did have porn.
    At least, that what they said they found during the raid of Neverland. But, most of that case was bullshit anyway. So... yeah never know.
