Sadly I must say I have acquired a bootleg of the film (I didn't pay anybody, that's what the internet's for). I have something of a leniant stance on piracy for my own use; I'm not going to pay anybody to do it for me, and it is usually never for anything that I have not already paid to see, or intend to own.

I'm not saying it's justified, but there is no circumstance in which I'll be able to travel to another cinema before the film is dropped from the docket, so it in a way serves as a fix. I fully intend to purchase the actual DVD and dispose of this fake when the time comes.

But of course, if I'm going to be a dirtbag, I may as well go all the way. I dolled up a nice little cover for it so I can plop it into my collection as a placeholder until the real thing come. Of course, the actual case won't look like that (What with Sony acquiring MGM, new case format, etc. etc), but at least it looks better in a collection.

NOTE TO MODS: The cover is seriously sized down. Nobody in their right mind could use this image for piracy.

piracy is uncontroled, the only solution is not giving in to the temptation, 4-5 months is a lot of time to wait for the official dvd!!!

Same here, I dont see the harm if someone who already paid the movie ticked is downloading some low reduced version to patient until the real deal comes out. Mind you, many DVDs are up for download in their exact file sizes on the web (ie 4/8 gb), some people don't mind spending full days downloading those (and may from their work).
