Judge adjourns ‘Playboy’ case against listings website

The dispute between Playboy and an Irish-based entertainment website, whom it alleges breached its copyright by publishing a link to exclusive photos of model Kate Moss “in various states of undress,” has returned before the High Court.

Playboy Enterprises International inc, which is part of the magazine empire founded by Hugh Hefner has sued Entertainment Media Networks, which offers entertainment listings on entertainment.ie over photos of Ms Moss, used in the the magazine’s 60th anniversary edition, which are central to the claim.

In December 2013 Playboy claims without its permission, entertainment.ie published a link to images of the model, which it exclusively commissioned, a week before the 60th anniversary edition was published.
