Chinese pirates beat Spider-Man to the punch
"Spider-Man 3 is already being sold on Beijing's streets almost two weeks ahead of its U.S. premier. Costing just over $1 apiece, the pirated DVDs appear to be of the actual movie, complete with a picture of the hero in a new, black spider suit which he wears for some of the film."

I'm not convinced this is true, for two reasons: (1) The author of the story bought one of the pirated DVDs, and it did not play. (2) The film has not been available on any of the leading Bit Torrent sites. Normally, a movie available anywhere in the world would be on the internet within 24 hours - in the case of a film as popular as this one, probably even faster.
