IMDB reports that Dustin Diamond, aka Screech from SAVED BY THE BELL, won't sue to ban the sex tape.

He's actually doing something very smart. He'll be taking a percentage of the profits from the tape. He figures instead of spending a fortune to ban it - why not profit from it?

He even eludes to having something to be proud of...

Former Saved By The Bell star Dustin Diamond has stunned fans by choosing to take a cut of the profits from of his notorious sex tape instead of spending thousands of dollars trying to ban its release. Diamond, who played nerdy Screech on the 1990s high school series, claims he wasn't looking for a second career when he filmed himself having sex with two women four years ago. He tells American publication Us Weekly, "I'm not an adult actor. I did something stupid in private." Diamond, who is dating his manager, Jennifer Misner, claims he and some pals each made sex tapes as a joke. He says that someone leaked his tape, but insists he doesn't know who. Although he initially threatened to sue, the 29-year-old has now decided to make a profit on the 40-minute sex tape, which will be released next month. Diamond explains, "I thought, I can spend a fortune fighting this or I can try and make a fortune." He adds, "Let's just say, if I were a small man, it would be worse."
