In this VladTV Flashback from 2014, Vivid Entertainment's CEO Steven Hirsch opened up about the success that the company has had with celebrity sex tapes, which he said started with the Pamela Anderson/ Tommy Lee tape, but was "broke wide open" with Kim Kardashian and Ray J. Hirsch was asked about the legality of putting out a tape without the consent of the parties in the video, which led to a conversation of obtaining Kim Kardashian's sex tape.
