E L James and Universal Sue Over Fifty Shades of Grey Porn Films, Sex Toys

E.L. James Fifty Shades of Grey Universal Studios

Porn companies looking to capitalize on the buzz surrounding Fifty Shades of Grey should probably back off their erotic knock-offs.

Universal Studios filed a copyright infringement lawsuit on Tuesday against adult film company Smash Pictures for its hardcore Fifty Shades of Grey: a XXX Adaptation.

The skin flick allegedly lifts 'exact dialogue, characters, events, story, and style from the Fifty Shades trilogy.'

RELATED ' Mila Kunis to Play Anastasia Steele in Fifty Shades of Grey?

'The first XXX adaptation is not a parody, and it does not comment on, criticize, or ridicule the originals. It is a rip-off, plain and simple,' reads the complaint.

Universal also claims Smash has two more related movies in the works, and that a subsidiary is selling a 'play kit' of sex toys under the name 'Fifty Shades of Pleasure.'

Fifty Shades author E L James, who shares the film rights to her trilogy of novels, is a co-plaintiff in the suit.

The novelist and Universal, which is adapting the first book into a mainstream movie, are seeking profits from the products, monetary damages and an injunction against further Smash sales.
