Universal sue after Jay-Z album is leaked on MySpace

Lawyers acting for Universal Music Group filed a lawsuit against MySpace parent company News Corp yesterday, after Shawn 'Jay -Z' Carter's comeback album Kingdom Come was leaked on the networking website last week.

The 99 Problems rapper's entire album was made available on MySpace and bosses at Def Jam parent company Universal claim sales of the LP, which hits shops in the US today, will be effected by widespread illegal downloading.
