Kim
Kardashian and Kanye West sued a co-founder of YouTube on Thursday
claiming he violated a confidentiality agreement by posting a video of
the couple's marriage proposal to his new video-sharing website.
The
couple's lawsuit states Chad Hurley wasn't invited to the elaborate
Oct. 21 proposal at San Francisco's AT&T Park, but was allowed to
stay because he signed an agreement not to post any video or images from
the event. West allowed other cameras to film the event for possible
broadcast on E! Entertainment Television, home to his fiancee's show
"Keeping Up With the Kardashians," according to the suit.
Hurley
posted a fuzzy 2 1/2 minute long video on his new website MixBit, that
showed West proposing to Kardashian while an orchestra played. The video
also showed the ensuing celebration with Kardashian's family and
invited guests toasting the newly-engaged couple.
Kardashian and West are seeking unspecified damages from Hurley and his company, Avos Systems Inc.
"Exclusive
rights, such as those sold by plaintiffs to publication of video of the
event, are particularly valuable," the lawsuit states. "If people
violate these rights ... they are of substantially diminished value."
