I wonder if they do that on a regular basis

as rh71 mentioned...in this case, they didn't have her permission

That is kind of funny. rh71 probably has the largest collection of pics of her taken without permission of anybody on earth.

Yah right. If shes so caring of the playboy readers, ask PB to refund their money.

I have no prob. with her suing PB but thats an outright lie.
I can see it now... all those newstands looking for the passers-by so they can get them back their money. All the stores (like a Target or CVS)... awaiting people to return their PB magazine for cash back. All those people sending back their now-rare mag to PB headquarters... you get the idea.

On top of the fact that it won't happen - that doesn't really hurt PB does it ? The whole point is to punish PB. What reason do you want to give ? Alba is greedy ? If she wanted money, she could've... I dunno... done the shoot in the first place when they asked...

do i make money off of any of it ? And no, you haven't met people on some Alba forums who make walls and collages out of everything she's ever done.

...

She recently wrapped filming on the upcoming thrilled Awake, in which she stars opposite Hayden Christensen. The film is slated for a fall release.
Completely off topic, but is this movie based on the upcoming video game, Awake, from Remedy software?

No it's about anesthetic awareness where a dude has surgery while still awake but can't do anything about it. It happens more often than you would believe too...

So wait, Sony just happened to have a Playboy quality (bikini, sexy pose, high quality) shot of Alba lying around? For what reason? And Playboy was able to con Sony into handing it over? Yeah right.

It was a promo shot for Into The Blue which was indeed used for that movie. Sony's letter (specifics in last paragraph & following page). PB was only granted a limited license to use it as part of the "25 sexiest stars" article so they are infringing on that part too.

Possibly, but probably a body double (who wants him at the hoo-haa!).

Which video are you guys talking aboutt? There are two. One is from Into The Blue and word is it's a body double, which I agree. The other is for a movie she did, she is in the very first intro shot, at a fashion show changing, and that's completely legit. There are also shots of her in a see through green dress at a recent awards show.

Thanks for clearing that up RH71.
