Judge Lets Spielberg Off the Hook for “Disturbia/Rear Window” Fracas
A copyright lawsuit filed against Steven Spielberg was tossed Tuesday in Manhattan federal court. Judge Laura Taylor ruled that Spielberg’s 2007 sleeper hit “Disturbia,” which starred Shia LaBeouf and made about $117 million worldwide, wasn’t a rip-off of Alfred Hitchcock’s “Rear Window.” The literary agent who owned the rights to the short story filed suit against Spielberg, DreamWorks and Paramount Pictures.
