So realistically the only way they can continue to make ridiculous
profit is by controlling the technology that we have access to.
For example, I have found that with the Thai copies there are scenes
missing from the dvd. I'm haven't noticed problems with the Korean
copies though.
I assume the main reason for this is that Thais generally don't have
access to technology as new as Koreans and also as much spending money.

Being on stage with the band in front of crowds shouting, "Get off! No!
We want normal music!", I think that was more like acting than anything
I've ever done.

However, I can't help guessing that most of
this material is either a)
released onto p2p deliberately to help build pre-launch hype or b)
sold by someone within the industry to pirates. I think a) is much
more likely than b) because anyone involved with b) will never work
in the industry again.
I think, it's a mixture of b) and a). A lot of people not exactly *in*
the industry get access to releases before the actual release date.
For example journalists, who write reviews of a record (a game, a
book, ...), or the actual CD manufacturers.
Cracker or release groups just need a bit of social engineering to
have access to the CDs then. And with the increasing count of broken
CDs (using an alleged "copy protection") there sure are people who
think it a reponsibility to make "fixed" versions available.
