Maybe a way to fight the piracy issue is to sale DVD's.
It would work like this :
1. Video is shot/edited and secured so no copies leak out.
2. Webmasters get the promo/launch/ material and advertise the DVD
3. In the fine print : "Please allow up to 90 days delivery" (90 days can be any days)
4. Send confirmation emails immediately when a purchase is made
5. Send a snail mail after 14 days saying "you order is being processed...etc.."
6. after 50 days start actually printing the DVD and sending them out
7. The marketing would be : "Limited quantity Available, order now".
This closes the gap where someone working for the DVD company can pirate it and
keeps it offline until "X" number of sales have been made.
People should be willing to wait for a "Celebrity Tape" and we should be making sales
why they are waiting.
* This was a quick thought so maybe there are some holes here. What do you think?

I like the idea but from my very limited experience of dvd mail order the customer wants it asap..im not sure if they would wait very long ,in fact with more and more customers using instant download for everything its a major roadblock ! ..other than that it would be perfect....
Added :
I guess you could do a pre - launch ..grab as many orders as possible before shipping as you mentioned now I think more on it..... would be interesting for someone like Vivid to try it as they have sales data from past launches.
Wonder how much they lost on the Kendra tape..it must be huge $$$$ ..its everywhere.
