about 40 seconds of material from a video showing former creed frontman scott stapp, kid rock and four women having sex, has been published on the web.
it has caused a string of lawsuits by kid rock, one of the women on the tape, and now scott stapp.
in december of 1999, when kid rock and scott stapp were on tour together, stapp filmed himself and kid rock performing various sexual acts with four strippers in kid rock’s chartered bus.
the video, part of scott stapp’s private collection, was allegedly stolen from stapp’s house and subsequently sold to the world wide red light district, the company that brought you the paris hilton sex video.
about a month ago, kid rock successfully sued red light district, accusing the company of violating his trademark and privacy rights. the judge has signed a temporary court order to stop red light district from distributing the video.
next in line was one of the women on the video, suing scott stapp. she accused stapp of leaking the sex tape to up the sales of his solo album. the woman, identified as "jane doe" in the lawsuit, said she believed the video would remain in stapp's private possession. the lawsuit seeks to prevent sale of the video and asks for unspecified damages, alleging the woman suffered emotional distress.
and now, scott strap is suing the red light district, to prevent the company from bringing out the video. stapp's lawsuit alleges that the tape was stolen from a safe at his house. the lawsuit states that red light district violated his trademark and privacy rights, causing him embarrassment, pain, suffering and emotional distress.
red light district has said the tape came from a third party, but the company denies it has been stolen. they have declined to say how the company's source acquired the video.

washington - rife with rumors, washington is braced for a political earthquake over an intricate cia leak scandal, with a special prosecutor apparently narrowing in on key aides to president george w bush and the office of vice president dick cheney.
prosecutor patrick fitzgerald has spent 22 months investigating whether senior white house aides committed a crime by blowing the cover of spy valerie plame to avenge her husband joseph wilson's fierce criticism in 2003 of the intelligence used to justify the war in iraq.
cheney's chief of staff i. lewis "scooter" libby and bush's political guru karl rove are hard knuckle bush aides most often mentioned as likely targets, and one report this week in the new york daily news suggested cheney himself might be in the frame.
"reading the tea leaves, it looks like something more is going on now," said katy harriger, a law professor at wake forest university in north carolina, who has written two books on previous presidential investigations.
"there is some speculation that it might be that cheney is in the sights as well and that is very big," she told afp, noting that fitzgerald may have moved away from the original scope of the inquiry and be mulling wider charges such as conspiracy or perjury.
bush critics are salivating, because they at last see hope that the white house will pay for what they see as lies and half truths told to grease the path to war.
but the drama could produce no criminal charges and allow bush to escape a moment of high political peril, analysts said.
"prosecutors investigate, and sometimes they don't indict," said kathleen clark, an expert of national security law at washington university of st louis, noting that if he found no way to prove wrongdoing, fitzgerald could just fold up his tent and return to chicago.
perhaps the most remarkable facet of this drama has been the sight of the once all powerful, fiercely disciplined white house, seemingly in disarray just nine months into bush's second term.
