Pop
Star Wants Court To See Her Sex Tapes
A top Croatian
pop star asked a Zagreb court on Friday to watch a private movie
in which she enjoys a lusty sex romp to see whether her copyright
was violated by a Web Site that showed it to the public. Severina
Vuckovic, 32, sued the www.index.hr web portal for publishing
shots of her having sex with a man later identified as a wealthy
Bosnian Croat businessman who is married with children.
Her lawyers
demanded the video be shown in court, state news agency Hina reported.
In a separate motion, the defendants also asked that a court-appointed
sex expert see the video to determine if Vuckovic had "demonstrated
anything not previously seen in the porn industry," which could
qualify for copyright, Hina said. "I do not think she has shown
any new sexual art," the portal's owner, Matija Babic, told the
agency.
The stills
and whole 11-minute video clip quickly became the hottest Internet
item in the former Yugoslav republic, where Vuckovic is a sex
symbol but has often projected a modest and religious image. Independent
media estimated the video had been downloaded 10 million times
and way beyond Croatia's borders. Vuckovic said it was stolen
from her private collection.
