Nothing new. I remember seeing a bootleg/fuzzy copy of a James Bond flick on cable tv in the Philippines the week it opened in Manila, a couple weeks after it opened in the USA.
And LOTR/Return of the King has been pirated: one expat. saw it played in an Indonesian bar last Christmas...
Piracy of cd and video is an ongoing problem...especially in Asia

Here in Asia piracy is a massive, Multi-Billion Dollar, industry.
Every Asian government, even the "friendly" ones, like Singapore's, is in it up to its ears.
As and educated guess, I would say that more than 90% of all films and sofwares in use in Asia are stolen/pirated.
