We Live in the Future: Spider-man 3, Pirated Before Release

Chinese pirates beat Spider-Man to the punch

BEIJING -- China's infamous movie pirates have done it again: "Spider-Man 3" is already being sold on Beijing's streets almost two weeks ahead of its U.S. premiere.

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 that he wears for some of the film.

There is even a warning on the back, printed in Chinese, against pirating the product.
