Fri, 11/12/2009 - 23:32 | by BellaAndEdward.com

You may or may not have heard about the case of a woman in Illinois, that was brought up on charges of piracy, when theater employees saw her filming during 'New Moon' and it was discovered that she had about 3 minutes worth of footage from the film. The woman, Samantha Tumpach, said she was filming the group she was with, and not the film, and that you could even hear her talking over the film footage. She was facing up to 3 years in prison. Chris Weitz even publicly came to her defense. The charges have been dropped, and Summit has released an official statement on the incident.

“In regards to the situation with Samantha Tumpach, we applaud Muvico for upholding the zero tolerance policy on piracy when the incident occurred at their theater in Rosemont, IL. The pirating of films is a very serious issue and we all need to remain vigilant to protect the art of film and the myriad of businesses that the film industry supports. We believe that the attention that this incident has drawn, has served as a reminder to us all that any form of film piracy, or perceived piracy, will be treated with the utmost seriousness. Summit is pleased that all charges against Ms. Tumpach have been dropped and appreciate the efforts of the police and the prosecutors in this outcome.”
