Last year ESPN sideline reporter Erin Andrews made headlines around the world after peephole clips and photos were taken from her hotel room.
The man responsible for secretly setting up the camera and taping Andrews was eventually caught and was sentenced to 30 months in jail.
However, the subsequent damage had already been done.
The video, was leaked online (of course) and hundreds if not thousands of blogs and forums reposted the footage and images.
Over the past year Andrew’s laywers have worked diligently requesting website owners to remove the footage and images as they violate Andrews privacy and copy right laws.
Once a cease and desist letter was received, most websites obliged and quickly removed the material.
However, not all website owners took the legal threat seriously.
TheDirty.Com not only refused to remove the video and images from their website, but instead reposted them today.
“Erin Andrews, can you ask your lawyers if this is the post they want me to take down because I am confused?” wrote Hooman Karamaian the owner of TheDirty.com who uses the alias Nik Richie. “Welcome back to reality… your fault.- nik.”
