Lawsuit
In October 2008, Lane filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against Digital Playground, Vivid Entertainment Group, and Moniker Online Services among other entities, alleging that they profited from domain names similar to her performer name and did not compensate her. The defendants in the litigation say it is a frivilous lawsuit and a retaliation action prompted by the ebbing of her career as a contract girl due to her age and diminishing public demand for her services. In February 2009, she dismissed her claims against most of the companies she was suing, leaving only Privacy Protect and Pixel named in the suit. Her attorney declined comment at the time on why she was dropping those firms.Awards
Lane was nominated in 2001 for Best New Starlet at the Hot D'Or Awards, and has been nominated for several AVN Awards, including Best Actress, Female Performer of the Year (twice) and Best Supporting Actress (twice). To date she has won 2 AVN Awards; Best Actress – Video for Breathless and Best Solo Sex Scene for In Style.Notable TV guest appearances
