Lawyers for Trina issued a cease and desist order to a website that claimed to have a videotape of the rapper engaged in sex acts. The website is hawking the tapes, which allegedly has a younger Trina in the video for $9.95. "We do not know whether the photographs or video footage contained in this video are, in fact, of our client. What we do know is that our client has not authorized the release of these photographs or this video footage," Trina’s lawyer Bernard Resnick told AllHipHop.com."Trina has not authorized, nor does she intend to authorize, any such release, which she believes violate her intellectual property rights, trademark and servicemark rights, copyrights, name and likeness rights, right of privacy, and right of publicity." Resnick ordered that the man who owns the website, a Dustin Fair, immediately cease and desist from any further advertising of the videotape as well as turning over the source that provided Fair with the "person(s) or entity that was the source of this video and delivered, licensed, loaned and/or sold it to you." As of press time, the website brazenly moved the "release date" of the tape up to May 15th, and even said that copies would be sold on DVD and AVI computer format. All references to Trina have been removed from the website. Fair could not be reached for comment
