SuicideGirls Fire Sale?

Looking to jump on that altporn bandwagon without having to go through all the trouble of trawling goth clubs for models, dealing with pesky paperwork, or earning the respect of your colleagues? Thanks to a dodgy looking web outfit that popped up this week, you can have thousands of photos of pierced and tattooed alternahotties—complete with all their 2257 compliance documentation, even!—for the low, low price of $500. The catch? They've all been published on SuicideGirls before, wherein lies the controversy that Altporn Gossip is reporting on this week. It isn't clear what sort of arrangement SuicideGirls has with ContentPinup.com (though the site's disclaimer claims there is "no affiliation"), or whether the models involved gave their permission to have their images and personal information resold (though really, who reads model releases anyway?); while we're waiting for our sources to come up with more dirt, you might as well peruse the gallery of sample images on the Content Pinup site. Maybe sometimes the best things in life really are still free.

Update An anonymous reader sent us a copy of this letter allegedly from SG's lawyer to Content Pinup which sheds some light on the relationship between the two companies; compare with the statement Missy Suicide released on the matter in the comments below and draw your own conclusions. (Also seen at Luke Is Back, where a reader notes "Not sure who this 'third party' is that Content Pinup paid to get these photos, but I have to admit, I am interested to know.")
