RadarOnline.com broke the story that Kamofie & Co. sold the surveillance tape for more than $35,000, divvying up the rights for TV, the Web, the U.S. and abroad. A spokesperson for the store told RadarOnline.com that business had been hurt by the Lindsay controversy. The same spokesperson was quoted by the New York Post saying: "There was no profit motive here. The purpose was to get people off their back."
But the No Profit Motive argument is ridiculous as the store is receiving a large percentage of sales from the broker they used to distribute the tape, multiple sources confirmed to RadarOnline.com.

And now, Lindsay’s mom says the selling of the tape has the Lohan family ready to sue.
Dina Lohan told RadarOnline.com exclusively: “Once again, celebrities are faced with the possibilities of their normal daily activity being filmed and sold without their knowledge and their consent, and our family is looking into formal legal action.”

And Dina’s attorney, Stephanie Ovadia, told RadarOnline.com exclusively: “I’ve been contacted by the family, and we are investigating the situation and looking into the unauthorized use of an image, invasion of privacy, unjust enrichment, and other possible legal avenues.”
Lindsay is facing a felony grand theft charge from her Kamofie & Co. outing. Prosecutors say she walked out of the story without paying for a $2,500 necklace. RadarOnline.com broke the story that she was under investigation for theft and a search warrant had been issued for her home.

Prosecutors are unhappy about Kamofie & Co. selling the tape. "You like to present your evidence in the courtroom," John Lynch, a Los Angeles district attorney said.

LOL If Lindsay sues than every low life criminal whose theft footage gets out to media should have the right to sue too. Hey lets let all the people in prison for robbing a bank sue if the footage of them stealing was realesed. Lohans=Sociopaths

Famous people get filmed in public & sometimes without their knowledge, and have the footage sold ALL the time, paparazzi ring a bell? Also criminals have surveillance footage of their crimes sold to TV shows without their consent as well

Wait for much bigger lawsuit when Lindsay is found not guilty.

She thinks crime should pay. What a psycho. Go after the $400,000 necklace that "disappeared" from her London photo shoot. Subpoenas and search warrants on Dina, skank Ronson and Lohan, and all deposit boxes.

The tape should not have been sold, at least until the case is closed and a verdict rendered. It does raise questions regarding the overall motives of the shop owners and the more they profit, the less credible and believable they become.
