The lawsuit filed Thursday claims Chad Hurley violated a confidentiality agreement when he posted the two-and-a-half minute fuzzy footage of the lavish proposal on his latest internet venture, MixBit.
The October 21 proposal at San Francisco's AT&T Park was being filmed for possible broadcast on E! Entertainment Television, home to West's fiancee's hit show Keeping Up With the Kardashians.
The newly-engaged couple are seeking unspecified damages from Hurley and his company, Avos Systems Inc.
The couple say, "Hurley proceeded to try to turn the event into one starring himself broadcasting the images he knew were the exclusive property rights of someone else", entertainment website TMZ reported.
The lawsuit goes on: "Despite his extraordinary financial success in creating YouTube, which was sold in 2006, Hurley has ever since sought his 'second act'."
It also reportedly adds that Mr Chad was not invited to the event, but was allowed to stay after he signed a confidentiality agreement.
