Seems to me that pre-release piracy
would be an inside job. Can't the studios/labels/software houses see this and put appropriate security in place to keep this from happening? Pharmaceuticals can keep tiny pills from going out the door, jewelers can keep tiny diamonds from going out the door, why can't these guys keep DVDs/CDs from going out the door? If they're allowing these things to go out through their internet gateways, they're just stupid.
