Playboy sues site for posting ‘every centerfold ever’

Playboy is fuming over a website that it says is publishing its centerfolds in an eyeball-grabbing slide show without permission.

Boingboing, a website that advocates for free content across the internet, had been running the lusty photos under the heading “Every Playboy Playmate Centerfold Ever,” according to a copyright infringement suit filed Nov. 7 by Playboy Enterprises in federal court in California.

The suit names Happy Mutants LLC, parent company of Boingboing, as a defendant.

Playboy Enterprises is demanding $150,000 per infringement — or nearly $72 million for the 447 centerfolds that run from April 1960 until January 2016.

Boingboing had not returned a call seeking comment by press time.
