A Twilight fan in Chicago was arrested recently for taping three minutes worth of footage from New Moon. 22-year-old Samantha Tumpach was arrested by police after she filmed the “birthday scene” with her videocamera whilst watching the movie. She could face a sentence upto three years if convicted.

“The motion picture industry has encouraged theater owners to adopt a ‘zero-tolerance’ policy prohibiting the video or audio recording of any portion of a movie,” Muvico Entertainment, which oversees the theater, told HLN’s “Prime News.”

However, according to CNN Legal Analyst Lisa Bloom, three years could be an excessive punishment for the incident.

Illinois state law is fairly broad on this subject, she said, and she believes that “it’s a ridiculous distortion of the law to prosecute this young woman, who recorded only a few minutes of the film as part of a birthday video.”
