We had a chinese guy come round the pub all the time trying to sell £5 pirate DVD's.
AFAIK none were particularly good quality.
I have seen some excellent quality ones downloaded for free from the internet however, things like the fellowship of the ring.
I'd only have a look at a pirate copy as a try before I buy thing, like the few tracks I've ever downloaded from the net (like maroon5, liked the track I downloaded, bought the album), if I'm unsure about a film in the cinema, rather than risk wasting nearly £30 on seeing it and being dissapointed, if I have the chance to catch a copy for free and its good, then I'll go see it in the cinema.
Normally though, as free copies aren't that available, I'll just wait for it to come out in blockbusters and rent it (like with Aeon Flux)
