Paris Hilton Sues: Claims Copyright Violation

Paris Hilton has filed a lawsuit against the company that owns ParisExposed.com. The lawsuit is based on the grounds that Paris faces danger from the site's operation. According to the suit:

"I was appalled to learn that people are exploiting my and my sisters' private personal belongings for commercial gain." The information can be used "to steal my identity, or even worse, to harass or stalk me".

As we reported last week, we believed Paris made a financial deal for the contents of the site. The information given to us by a trusted source turns out to be three copyright registrations filed for some of the contents on Paris Exposed. The copyrights are for three articles of writing Paris wrote. We mistakenly thought Paris owned the materials she filed the copyrights for. Rather, it appears she is using the copyrights as a legal tool.

Update: Here's the actual complaint
