It’s obvious bad karma for a music blog to wish for a major label to drop a copyright infringement lawsuit on a blogger for posting song leaks, but in this case we’ll make an exception, because Brtiney Spears’ corporate overlords are attempting to pop Perez “Blood-Engorged Tick” Hilton for forcing them to release Blackout before the world had time to prepare for it.
Okay, the world was probably never really going to be ready for the Blackout bomb, but the lawsuit slams Hilton for posting nearly a dozen half-finished (or finished songs that sure sounded half-finished) Britney songs over three months, the reason Zomba is claiming that Blackout has now been bumped up two weeks from 11/13 to 10/30. Like Silicon Valley Insider, every music blogger knows very well that “even when the label is genuinely opposed to the idea, it’s usually handled via a sternly worded letter from a lawyer,” but with the RIAA winning its first trial, maybe the music industry’s lawyers are strutting around with a little more confidence in their plans to sue everyone in sight. Or maybe they’ve just heard all of our prayers for someone to take Hilton down. Bad karma be damned.

If the Zomba lawsuit doesn’t take him out, a cheesegurger is bound to. It’s inevitable.
Isn’t this the second major lawsuit for him this week? What a turd. I hope they smear him all over the bathroom floor.

Best. Misspelling. EVER.
It’s weird…while Perez Hilton’s unique brand of entertainment (which, from what I gather consists mainly of MS Paint cum trails drawn in around celebrities’ mouths) doesn’t factor into my world at all, if ever, I find that a part of me would like to see him put out to pasture.
You know, for the children’s sake.
Please tell me even if somehow he scrapes by this, something else will destroy that site. I don’t feel right hoping for any lawsuit either but… really it’s a whole different category.
As far as I know, he’s already dealing with suits from X17 (for stealing photos) and a few celebrities for defamation.
I thought that said “Blueberry Smirk”, which made me just about piss my pants.
How is she supposed to lapse into drunken stupor and ignore her album’s release date when it’s been pushed up to the last week of October? She already has a court date to ignore on the 26th. Keep making all these appointments together and you’re running the risk that she might get confused and actually show up for one. And then who will continue the Tour of Random Gas Stations in Pasadena?
