Verne "Mini Me" Troyer has filed a $20 million lawsuit against celeb Web site TMZ.com for running a clip of his sex tape online.

In the suit (filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles), the actor, 39, alleges that the site violated his privacy rights, infringed on his copyright and misappropriated his name and likeness.

He claims Kevin Blatt " who distributed Paris Hilton's One Night in Paris " stole the tape (Blatt is named as a defendant in the suit).

Troyer is also seeking an injunction prohibiting further dissemination of the video.

TMZ " which reported the news on its Web site Thursday " aired the 20-second clip earlier this week. The snippet shows Troyer tongue-kissing a former "live-in girlfriend" in their apartment. A source tells Us the rest of the tape is considerably racier.

    it's hard to believe someone "stole" the tape. i understand how it could be erotic to tape oneself & partner for your own enjoyment at a later date though. but please. he wanted that tape out there. i sure he has something to prove. i mean, who else even knew he was making the tape besides himself & ex-gf? i'm not buying this one, mr. me!
