Perez Hilton has another lawsuit to add to the growing pile. This week it’s copyright infringement allegations from the Britney Spears camp who claim he posted her songs without permission.
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.
“Blackout” was scheduled to be released on November 13 by Jive Records, which is part of Zomba Label Group, Zomba said.
Jive moved up the U.S. release date to October 30 and the international release a day earlier because some recordings had been leaked online, the company said on Wednesday.
The suit does not specify the amount of monetary damages, but asks for real and punitive damages as well as legal costs. Zomba owns the copyrights to Spears’ recordings.
Spears, 25, is not a party to the lawsuit, Zomba said.
I hope that VH1 gig pays well because Perez has got to be paying some hefty legal bills. This is like his fourth or fifth lawsuit this year.
