Spielberg accused of ripping off Hitchcock

Movie mogul Steven Spielberg has been charged with stealing his 'Disturbia' plot from Alfred Hitchcock's 'Rear Window' in a new Hollywood legal spat.

The moviemaker's DreamWorks Studio and Universal Pictures have been accused of copyright infringement by the current owners of author Cornell Woolrich's short story, which inspired Hitchcock's 1954 classic thriller.
