Music label Zomba said it has sued gossip website PerezHilton.com for illegally posting recordings by pop singer Britney Spears.
The suit, filed in US District Court in Los Angeles, accused the website and its proprietor, Mario Lavandeira, of illegally obtaining and posting at least 10 completed songs and unfinished demos from Spears's upcoming album Blackout during 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 in a statement.
The suit does not specify the amount of monetary damages that Zomba is seeking, but asks for real and punitive damage as well as legal costs. Zomba owns the copyrights to Spears' recordings.
Spears is not a party to the lawsuit, Zomba said.
