			Fact File
	Where do they get the film from
		Someone goes to watch the film and sneaks in a video camera
		They use it to record the film straight from the screen
		The cassette gets sent to an illegal factory
		Loads of copies quickly become available at markets and on the web

And after just five minutes of searching an auction site, CBBC Newsround found two DVD copies of The Two Towers being advertised.

They were on sale for around £20, even though whoever was selling them hadn't got them yet.

Their ad said they "expected" the quality of the movie to be "good - excellent" and added that they expected to have hundreds of copies.

But anyone buying them should be warned that the picture quality and sound is likely to be very bad, and they could get in trouble with the police.
