The lawsuit included a pair of letters e-mailed to TMZ and SugarDVD, telling both entities to remove mentions of the tape from their Web sites and halt any plans to distribute it.
Troyer's suit claims that release of an excerpt of the tape was an invasion of privacy and copyright infringement. He is also seeking the return of all copies of the video.
His suit claims that he made the tape with his former girlfriend and never intended it to be shown publicly.
