A surge of opportunists flocked to the website that sells the video, with a whopping two million tuning in, compared to the usual 300,000 visitors.

US website TMZ reports that Irish viewers proved to be the biggest clientele, paying £30 to watch the footage for a month on the web.


Four years ago, in February 2007, the home video was leaked.

Despite initially suing Vivid Entertainment for ownership of the tape, two months later Kim dropped the suit and settled with them for $5 million.

Their star-studded guestlist, which included Eva Longoria and Lindsay Lohan, was a far cry from her seedy past.
Having previously claimed they would postpone their honeymoon until next summer when their work schedules were less hectic, the newlyweds found time for a short break in Italian city Naples.
They were seen swanning through the airport followed by assistants who carried their enormous trolley of luggage to the waiting limousine.
Kim's first tweet following their big day was simply: 'God is good!!!!!'
