Playboy model Shauna Sand is no longer opposed to the release of her sex tape - she's now teamed up with the movie distribution company to promote the adult film.

The busty blonde filed a lawsuit against bosses at Vivid Entertainment in early October to block the release, accusing them of illegally acquiring the explicit home video footage and failing to attain the appropriate rights to distribute it.

However, after Sand was proved to have previously signed a document releasing the rights to Vivid Entertainment, she dropped the legal action - and now she's hoping to cash in on her own tape.

She says, "Since Vivid... is moving ahead with distribution, I now feel it will be in my best interest to work with Vivid to make sure it is handled properly. I'm proud of the way I look in the video."
