Louis Vuitton wins suit against Britney Spears' label
Pop star’s video features the French company’s design
French luxury goods company Louis Vuitton has won a lawsuit against Britney Spears.
Vuitton filed suit against the pop star for showing a pink Vuitton-upholstered dashboard in her music video for ‘Do Something’.
The video shows Spears driving in a pink Hummer and tapping her fingers on a dashboard that resembles Vuitton’s ‘Cherry Blossoms’ design.
A Paris civil court ordered Sony BMG and MTV Online to stop broadcasting or marketing the video and fined them 80,000 euros apiece, reports the Associated Press. They were also found guilty of violating counterfeiting laws.
Spears herself was not fined or found guilty.
