Lithium Picnic Goes Down

Fans of legal maneuvering, non-compete clauses, and hot naked tattooed babes have probably been following the tale of Lithium Picnic photographer Philip Warner and his battle against his former employer, SuicideGirls. The rest of you might still be interested in an update, since it has come to our attention that Warner recently shuttered the LP site as a result of all the litigation. Like any good underdog in today's world, however, he's taking his fight to the people, with the help of model Apnea, a former Suicide lass herself. (It was his post-SG work with her that started this whole dustup in the first place.) They're selling photos and equipment to raise money for his legal defense and basically using the World Wide Webs to spread the word about what they say is nothing more than a case of corporate bullying. If all this makes little sense to you then we'll put it this way: If the lawsuit ends and he gets back to work, that means new hot photos of sexy models. We thought that might get your attention.
