CHINA'S PIRATES CAN'T KEEP UP WITH DEMAND FOR TITANIC

The demand for bootleg copies of Titanic has been so extraordinary in China that video pirates have been unable to keep up with it, the BBC reported Sunday. The widespread distribution of the bootlegs (for $3.00 each) has apparently failed to discourage audiences from packing theaters to see it (for $6.00). One woman told a BBC reporter, "To watch this movie in the cinema gives you better audio and other quality, much better quality than pirated films."
