Since the leak, Lawrence's attorney has embarked on a battle to remove the pictures from various websites, but bosses of one porn site have refused to take them down because the actress does not own the copyright to the entire set.

The site's officials are arguing that not all the pictures were taken by Lawrence, so whoever snapped the shots owns the copyright. They are demanding proof of the actress' rights or the name of the photographer.

America's Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is investigating the scandal.
