A New York City hotel says it has identified and fired the person who recorded security video appearing to show Beyonce's sister attacking Jay Z inside an elevator last week.

The Standard Hotel says the person has been terminated for 'breaching the security polices of the hotel and recording the confidential CCTV video.'

Website TMZ posted the video Monday and said it was shot last week inside a Standard Hotel elevator.

I wonder if the hotel will file a lawsuit against this guy and try to get that money from him?

Interesting question.  Pure speculation, but perhaps the hotel could sue for copyright infringement, since the hotel probably has copyright in the video.
