Twilight and Breaking Dawn News for Aug 3

Plot thickens on 'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn' hacker scandal

On Monday, it was announced that the alleged hacker and unlawful distributor of film materials from The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 had been identified and located by film studio Summit Entertainment's team.
The charges being brought against the woman, according to those reports, included civil penalties via U.S. Copyright Law in the federal court system and criminal charges in Argentina, based on international law (The Berne Convention, most likely).
Now, according to E! Online, there are a few other details to be known about the hacker scandal.
There are several who have expressed opinions that the pursued justice in this case is too harsh. Others have countered, "I hope they throw the book at her." This little piece of information should be considered in that discussion as well.
Turns out Summit knew of the alleged hacker . . . and had tried to settle the issue peacefully with her . . . Our trusty sources say that instead of cooperating and working out a deal, [she] is refusing to play ball, even if doing so means lessening the legal woes she's facing. Link....
