A couple days ago, the internet was abuzz with the release of a silent sex tape featuring Jimi Hendrix (or his doppelganger). We've been waiting to hear what the local estate and foundations associated with Jimi Hendrix would have to say about the release. Today, we got our answer in the form of an email from Shyan Selah of the Jimi Hendrix Foundation. Regarding tape's release, she said:

On behalf of both the Jimi Hendrix Foundation and Brave New World, I want to address the despicable news in regards to the Jimi Hendrix "sex tape." Regardless of the tape's authenticity, it is obvious that this is an intentional means to profit off of the exploitation of the greatest musician of our time. This by no means is a reflection of the contribution he's given to us all through his talents and therefore we will aggressively pursue any and every legal course of action to protect the integrity of his legacy.
