oj2 The Juice Turns 60

For sixty years, O.J. Simpson has been taking up space on this earth. How does a killer celebrate his birthday? Hanging out with Kato Kalin? Perhaps he’s pondering absurd follow-ups to "If I Did It." Maybe "Murdering for Dummies." Or "From the NFL to the Gates of Hell." There’s always "Fifteen Ways to Leave Your Lover, But All You Need is One."

More importantly, what does one buy a cold-blooded murderer? We’re thinking a license plate holder that says, "I’d Rather Be Killing." Whatever it is, O.J., we hope that your birthday plans fit you like a glove!

    Meant to say the gloves did fit.

TMZ in Contempt of Court for Leaking OJ Simpson If I Did It Manuscript?

  Share

When AOL is bankrolling your operation you can afford to legally piss off everyone to get the story, and that may eventually cost TMZ. Here’s more:

A court-appointed bankruptcy trustee wants a gossip web site held in contempt for its publication yesterday of the entire manuscript of "If I Did It," O.J. Simpson’s purportedly fictionalized account of the murder of his ex-wife and a male friend. The "exclusive" posting of the 235-page book by TMZ.com came days after a federal judge ruled that the work’s copyright can be pursued by the family of the late Ron Goldman, who was murdered along with Nicole Brown Simpson in June 1994 (Simpson was acquitted of the killings). According to an emergency motion by Drew Dillworth, the federal trustee, the web site’s posting of the manuscript in a downloadable PDF format has likely "diminished or destroyed" the value of the book, which the Goldmans may eventually publish (and promote) as Simpson’s confession. Dillworth estimated that the PDF, which remained online for about two hours, was downloaded by "tens, if not hundreds of thousands of people." As seen below, the posted copy of the book was emblazoned with a watermark of TMZ’s logo and included the manuscript’s copyright notation. Jonathan Polak, a Goldman family attorney, said the web site "literally reached into the bankruptcy estate and stole this asset for its own profit." A hearing on Dillworth’s contempt motion is scheduled for this afternoon in a Miami bankruptcy court. The fight for the book’s copyright landed in federal court after a Simpson company, Lorraine Brooke Associates, filed for Chapter 7 protection in April. On June 15, Judge A. Jay Cristol ruled that the incorporation of Lorraine Brooke was a fraudulent bid to shelter the book’s proceeds from Simpson’s debtors, namely Goldman’s heirs. Dillworth was appointed to administer the bankrupt firm’s assets, so that he could maximize eventual payments to secured and unsecured creditors. In a statement, TMZ said it "did nothing wrong," though the site did not address questions about its publication of the entire copyrighted manuscript. While TMZ did not detail how it had "obtained" its exclusive, it appears that the book was simply downloaded from a file sharing service where the PDF was first made available last Thursday. Data embedded in the PDF shows that the version posted on the gossip site is identical to a copy that was first made available June 14 on The Pirate Bay site. The manuscript, in the e-book format, was still available for download this afternoon.

O.J. Simpson’s “If I Did It” Leaked On Internet

oj if i did it O.J. Simpsons If I Did It Leaked On Internet

It was bound to happen. The book no stores want to touch has been leaked on the web. A manuscript of O.J. Simpson’s "If I Did It" has surfaced online, and it’s every bit as tasteless and gruesome as expected.

In the book, Simpson chronicles how he "would have" killed his wife and her friend, Ronald Goldman (Of course, it’s hard to remember that he’s innocent of these crimes in light of the fact that he’s clearly guilty).

The book was shunned by most large retail booksellers and all copies were ordered to be destroyed. Heck, even Fox decided not to air Simson’s interview about the book. It seems the only place for material like this is the wacky World Wide Web.

TMZ has the horrible, ugly excerpts here.
