Erin Andrews and ESPN: Peephole Video, Still Photos Cost N.Y. Post

The N.Y. Post and ESPN have had a falling out over the peephole video shot of Erin Andrews, a sideline reporter for the network. The still photos that were pulled from the perverted grainy video tape were published by the Post and that led ESPN to decide that, will no longer have their writer's appear on any of their programs on the cable channel.

According to the lawyer for Andrews, the paper published three of the pictures.  The Post blames ABC, saying they drew attention to the tape when they demanded that the original website take the peephole video down.  The tape was sent to Hollywood's Thirty Mile Zone monitors at TMZ  and they refused to air it, but once they ran the story the search was on to find the tape.  The story exploded once the popular website reported on it.

Some websites had the video while others published still images and even linked to websites that were busy loading malicious code onto computers and laptops worldwide of those that wanted their own copy.  A report from the Chicago Tribune cites and earlier Associated Press report that says the tape was filmed illegally and without the knowledge of Erin Andrews. 

Her attorney says "Andrews plans to seek criminal charges and file civil lawsuits against the person who shot the video and anyone who publishes the material."  Should ESPN have dumped the Post writers?  I think it is good that they have Erin's back.
