According to TMZ.com, Joe Francis is giving away free DVD's featuring Eliot Spitzer's call girl, Ashley Dupre.  
  
The DVD, which will be called *Hookers Gone Wild*, will be distributed for free as a special insert inside his new magazine due out on April 15, according to OK! Magazine.  
  
"We could release it on the Internet, but the problem with the internet, even if we're charging, it's out," said Francis. "Everybody sees it for free regardless, and we didn't want to charge for it. So, we're going to give it away," Francis told E!'s Chelsea Handler.  
  
The free DVD will be the first of seven in the *Hookers Gone Wild* series, in which Dupre will appear on all of them. The famous call girl was filmed while on the Girls Gone Wild bus in Florida in 2003.  
  
Francis has received pressure from Dupre's attorneys who insist she was only 17 when the footage was taken according to OK!  
  
"I walk out of jail from scandal into scandal," Francis said. "We met Ashley five years ago when she was thrown out of the Chesterfield Hotel by her friend. She happened to get picked up by the Girls Gone Wild bus, we took her aboard and she lived aboard the bus with our crew for a week. She had nowhere else to go."
