Kanye West And Kim Kardashian Sues YouTube Co-founder Chad Hurley To Court Over Proposal Video

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian would be suing the people who leaked their engagement video. The recently engaged couple filed a lawsuit against the man they believe leaked the footage.
Kanye West and Kim Kardashian invited only close friends and family members to watch him propose to Kim Kardashian but beside these people invited no one else was suppose to see the grand proposal.
 In the lawsuit ... obtained by TMZ their lawyer, Eric George, trashes Chad Hurley, the guy who co-founded YouTube and sold it to Google for $1.65 billion.
Kim and Kanye claim Hurley is the one who schemed to post the video on his new Internet venture, MixBit.

Kim and Kanye say he was not even invited but they let him stay, only after he signed a confidentiality agreement. And get this ... they even got him to take a pic holding the signed confidentiality agreement, which is attached to the lawsuit.


The couple say, "Hurley proceeded to try to turn the event into one starring himself, broadcasting the images he knew were the exclusive property rights of someone else."

Specifically, Kim and Kanye say he posted Kanye's engagement proposal on MixBit and tweeted it to nearly a million followers. He then had the audacity to issue a press release, touting his video trophy. Kim and Kanye are suing for unspecified damages ... including punitives.
Even though Kim and Kanye don't say how much the video was worth, they mention it was destined for MC Cable Television, which is an arm of Bunim/Murray and E!, which produces and broadcasts "Keeping Up with the Kardashians."
