Britney court threat over 'stolen' baby pictures
Britney Spears threatened to take legal action today after pictures of her newborn son turned up on the internet, apparently stolen from a private photoshoot.
At least two websites showed photos of Spears embracing her child, as well as a family portrait.
A statement by Spears’ record label, Jive Records,said the photos were taken from a private photo session.
“Anyone who publishes, sells or otherwise exploits any of these images in any way will be subject to liability and damages for wilful infringement of copyright, and will be liable for invasion of privacy,” the statement read.
The pop star gave birth to her first child last month.
Spears and her husband, Kevin Federline, recently made their first public appearance since the infant was born, but there have been no clear images of the baby until now.
A representative for Spears refused to comment.
