? GOF DVD ?

I'm surprised that the studio itself isn't monitoring eBay; how hard
would it be to do a search for their own titles, or even work out
something with eBay where certain titles are automatically blacklisted? 

I was lucky enough to attend a "special advance screening" of a movie
recently, weirdly enough at the dollar movie theater in my small
hometown - where Big Famous Movie Director's parents live. Sort of a
Christmas present to them. I was surprised at the level of security -
no electronic devices *at all* in the building, and our bags were
searched and they swept everyone with those metal detector wands to
boot. All that to prevent anyone recording even a snippet of the
movie... it definitely wasn't security for the actors/director,
because there was nothing like that going into the reception later
that night. I don't know why the security was so tight for this
movie... A couple of years ago I went to a sneak preview of Azkaban -
no security there that I remember, other than verbal admonitions that
recording devices were strictly forbidden, and you'd think Warner Bros
would have a lot more to lose from piracy.

By the way, the movie was Terence Malick's "The New World".
Incidentally David Thewlis was in it (although honestly I am having a
hard time even remembering his role). The actress who plays
Pocohontas, Q'orianka Kilcher, was amazing. Not to start anything, but
she was 14 when the movie was filmed and comparing her performance to
the kids in the HP movies, well, much as I liked the performances in
GoF (except Emma Watson's), it's no comparison!
