Don't mess with Kimye, YouTube dude!

On Tuesday, a judge ruled that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's lawsuit against YouTube co-founder Chad Hurley doesn't violate his free speech rights and will proceed. The couple is seeking unspecified damages from Hurley and his company Avos Systems Inc. over leaked footage from the couple's October proposal.

Superior Court Judge Ruth Ann Kwan rejected a motion from the tech entrepreneur to dismiss the case against him on constitutional grounds, so Kimye and the YouTuber will eventually go to court to settle the matter on November 17.

Hurley was sued just days after posting the two-and-a-half-minute video of West's multi-million dollar proposal on his new video-sharing website MixBit. Hurley claims that he wasn't informed that he was not allowed to film or distribute the footage, however the judge ruled that "CONFIDENTIALITY" could be read clearly on the document that he signed.

The judge also agreed that the couple's assertion that Hurley's "wrangling" over the case has been "improper." If found liable fraud charges, according to TMZ sources, the billionaire could be forced to pay millions to the engaged couple.
