Britney’s Record Label Suing Perez Hilton
Posted at October 13, 2007 | No Comments
Britney Spears’ record label Zomba has sued celebrity blogger Perez Hilton for illegally posting tracks from her forthcoming album on his website. Perezhilton.com is a highly popular celebrity gossip site administrated by Perez Hilton.
The company claims that Hilton, whose real name is Mario Lavandeira — uploaded illegal postings that include at least 10 completed songs and unfinished recordings leaked over a period of three months.
The copyright infringement lawsuit was filed by Zomba, which owns the copyright to Spears’ recordings.
Zomba has confirmed Spears is not a party in the case.
It comes just a day after Lavandeira was the subject of a court summons to appear in the dock in a $20 million defamation case over claims he accused DJ Samantha Ronson of being responsible for the cocaine found in Lindsay Lohan’s car following her arrest for driving under the influence.
