Spears: Pics of baby son on web were stolen ones (AP) Updated: 2005-10-22 09:22
Britney Spears threatened to take legal action Friday after pictures of her
newborn son popped up on the Internet, apparently stolen from a private photo
shoot.
At least two Web sites showed photos of Spears embracing her child, as well
as a family portrait.
A statement released late Friday by Spears' record label, Jive Records, said
the photos were swiped 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 willful 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 declined to comment.
