Adult Video News and XBIZ are the two largest adult entertainment business publishers, sort of The Hollywood Reporter and Variety of porn. Like any publishing rivals in the same town, employees sometimes move from one company to the other, their first loyalty being to their paycheck. But now one such move by a sales director has AVN taking XBIZ to court. From an article in, well, XBIZ:

XBIZ and its sales executive, Sara Sazzman, on Tuesday were served with an eight-count complaint, seeking a jury trial and unspecified damages.

The suit, which includes breach of contract claims, misappropriation of trade secrets and unfair competition, among others, was filed Monday at Los Angeles Superior Court.

XBIZ attorneys said that the company plans to vigorously defend itself against the charges.
