Man Claims Innocence for Illegally Taping "Hannah Montana - The Movie"

While the movie Hannah Montana - The Movie was being shown during a weekend performance in south Barrington, Chicago, Gerardo Arellano propped up a video camera on his leg filming it.

He was caught red-handed and both he and his wife were arrested.

Police found thousands of pirated movie CDs and DVDs in his home, and naturally suspected he was in it for commercial gain. But Arellano stoically denied any wrong-doing, and said they all belonged to his mother. He also said he didn't think he was doing anything really wrong recording the movie.

The court took a different view, but he was given bail at $20,000.
