Charges have been dropped against a 22-year-old Chicago woman accused of videotaping part of The Twilight Saga: New Moon at a movie theatre.
Cook County prosecutors on Friday announced in court that they won't pursue charges against Samantha Tumpach.
Tumpach was arrested November 28 in the Chicago suburb of Rosemont and faced a felony charge of illegally copying the film.
She had about three minutes of New Moon on her digital camera. Tumpach has said she was taping her sister's birthday party and wasn't trying to record the movie.
The film's director, Chris Weitz, came to Tumpach's defence. He told the Chicago Sun-Times there's a difference between trying to protect a copyright and prosecuting someone who didn't mean to commit video piracy.
