Getting a movie before it hits general release isn't hard- you just need to take a trip to Hollywood or London to see a premier. Usually the screening copies that get sent to marketing directors and film executives are the ones that get haXX0r3d.
Rarely, if ever, is the quality high enough on a portacam that you can watch an entire pirated movie on it. Even if the visual is good enough, I've heard everything from sex to cell phone calls in the background- the sound quality is terrible.
