PLAYBOY ENTERPRISES V. CHUCKLEBERRY PUBLISHING
939 F.Supp. 1032 (S.D. NY 1996)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was a motion for contempt.
FACTS: Playboy (D) moved for a motion of contempt against D for operating an internet
site from Italy under the Playmen label. P claims that D has violated a judgment entered
June 26, 1981 enjoining it from publishing, printing, distributing or selling in the U.S an
English language male sophisticate magazine under the name Playmen. P got a permanent
injunction against D on April 1, 1981 and a judgment was entered on June 26, 1981. Italian
courts ruled that Playboy was a weak mark and not entitled to protection in Italy. On
January 22, 1996, P discovered that D had created an internet site using the Playmen name.
Because of the internet the site was widely available to citizens of the U.S. P sought
relief by this motion for contempt.
