Perez Hilton Sued Over Britney Spears Songs

First Posted: 3/28/08 Updated: 5/25/11

Music label Zomba sued PerezHilton.com for copyright infringement on Thursday, saying the gossip Web site illegally posted recordings by pop singer Britney Spears.

The suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles Thursday, accused the Web site and its proprietor, Mario Lavandeira, of illegally obtaining and posting at least 10 completed songs and unfinished demos.

The songs are from Spears's upcoming album "Blackout," her first album in four years. The postings occurred over the past three months, Zomba said in a statement.

This shows that Brit & her work does have some value to someone. It'd be interestin­g to see what the courts might say about Brit's work.

Uhm
obviously the record label is also going after him vs the 10,000 other sites that posted the same stuff is because he posts all about her crazy sh@t which of course is bad for buisness
