So sue us them
Lawyers for Cameron Diaz want the Gawker Media websites to stop reporting on and having fun with that for-sale video showing the actress topless in S&M scenarios when she was a 19-year-old model. So naturally, Gawker publishes the lawyers' letter and essentially replies: feh.
So Cal Lawyer: The only problem is that the gawker/defamer/fleshbot coverage has been, "well, this is a boring video that's not worth your money or even our money so we downloaded it and still didn't like it when it was free." If it's selling like hotcakes based on that... Any publicity is good publicity, I guess.

Obviously that lawyer has no idea what a blog is and how letters like his can backfire into exponentially more unwanted publicity over the blogosphere. I bet the video is selling like hotcakes thanks to the extra attention that defamer/gawker is giving to the issue.
