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.'

'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.
