“Aspiring model Rebecca Battino’s career got off to a strange start when sexy self-portraits she took as a 16-year-old popped up in an online iTunes application called ‘eXtreme Cam Girls,'” Boniello reports. “Unbeknownst to her, the images soon spread like a virus to dozens of flesh sites across the Web, making her an international sex sensation.”
Boniello reports, “Battino, now 19, took the pictures of herself in the mirror with a digital camera. The steamy shots were swiped from her computer, Battino claims in a $1 million Manhattan federal-court lawsuit that accuses Apple and app-maker Samba Studios of copyright infringement.”
“The application has since been removed from the iTunes store, but Battino is fuming that she hasn’t gotten any credit — or cash — for the shots,” Boniello reports. “‘I was just upset that I’m not being paid for my pictures,’ she told The Post. ‘I’m not embarrassed.'”

Sue the app maker, not Apple. Besides, stop posting skanky pics of yourself online.

“Battino claims in a $1 million Manhattan federal-court lawsuit that accuses Apple and app-maker Samba Studios of copyright infringement.”
It makes sense to name both parties in the suit, thereby covering all the bases. She’s actually handing this pretty much exactly the way she should.

Well, at least she is honest. She wants a big helping of cashiola salad. No, she’s not sorry for producing jail bait pics, she just wants a share of the dough. Refreshingly upfront in a time when others would paint themselves as victims.

@ He We Go Again
Yes, I’m jumping all over your god-given right to call some girl you don’t know a dumb skank.
Sue me.
But first, genius, take a second and turn your brain on. What I’m saying applies to all photographers. Not just girls that make the porn you love.
And I know this may surprise you, but I didn’t make those rules. As a photographer, however, I will defend them.
Keps your Other Thoughts coming. And I’ll do the same.

Now let’s look at this ‘skank’ claim. From the article….
“A shot of Battino in a plunging-down-to-there black swimsuit…”
So, she was wearing a swimsuit. Something she might wear at a public beach. Completely legally. And for taking a picture of herself in this, she’s a ‘skank’. Ah yes, that makes perfect sense. And since she’s so ‘dumb’, she doesn’t deserve any copyright protection, because that’s reserved for smart guys and ugly women.
You guys should be proud of how far you’ve evolved.

If she’s a internet sensation now, she should just capitalize on it now like what Paris Hilton did.
Get a manager and start posing for products, naked now that she’s 19 teen.
She’ll get rich that way, not by suing.

I know of a famous internet porn star that got her start when she was 19.
She retired when she got about 26, she’s 36 now and has a cool quarter million still in the bank, owns a condo and is still receiving income from her websites.
She still works, but not in the trade. But that $250,000 sure gives a lot of cushion for these rough economic times.
Her trade name is Jordan Capri, knew her for about 4 years.
No kidding.

“If she didn’t sue, we wouldn’t be talking about her.”
If she’s marketing herself, she’s not going about it the right way.
All she’s doing is scaring websites into pulling her images, making her into a nobody, then she will either lose the suit or win with a lot less than what she is asking for.
A lawyer talked her into this. A lawyer with a eye on Apple’s billions.
If she wanted to make money, she should have hired a marketing manager.
dumb chick move.
