Try p2p file sharing programmes. There are many of them available there, from the hidden cam prostitution video of Vietnamese actress Yen Vy to the drugged date rape of Turkish actress Gamze ?z?elik. As for an authorised DVD version, along those already mentioned by jj, I can say the one of Kim Kardashian, the American "socialite".

Thanks to all of you for answers and explanations!
I do so much hope to find anything for my husband's collection!

(and off-topic: personally I'd like to know what that means:
"Quaestio subtilissima: Utrum Chimaera in vacuo bombinans possit comedere secundas inten- tiones; et fuit debatuta per decem hebdomadas in Concilio Constantiensi. ")

Zebrafink

Rabelais, laughng at 'learned' Mediaeval theologians who supposedly
spent [wasted] much of their time in heatedly debating how many
angels were able to dance on the head of a pin, instead of spiritually
ministering to their flocks.

It's one of many made-up book-titles in the 'Library of St. Victor'
from "Gargantua and Pantagruel" and roughly translates as:
"A most subtle question: whether a Chimaera bombinating* in a
vacuum is capable of devouring puns**, which had been debated for
ten weeks at the Council of Constance".

* buzzing like a bee; **many translations [inaccurately IMO] give the
more literal 'second intentions'- in Mediaeval Latin the notion of a
second, i.e. double, meaning to a spoken or written thought clearly
represented the making of a pun or bon mot.
The Council occurred from 1414 onwards.

wow, thanks. I'm laughing with Rabelais!
I.

Anything that punctures pomposity gets my vote : -))

UInless it's me who's being pompous, of course......

Can I ask a possibly impertinent question?

Zebras are nice; stripey horses, cute.
But why the 'fink'? This word usually has the connotation of an
unpleasant or disloyal character, like a police informant.
There was the sixties cartoon-character 'Batfink', though, who was
noble and just:

It's just because you think in the limitations of the English language. "Fink" may not have the exact negatively-laden background in other languages. And you should know that the great majority of the people living on planet Earth (and the continent Europe) don't speak English. !wink!

Being an anglophone by birth, I could hardly do otherwise- although
of course one tries not to be parochial [img]http://www.egafd.com/forum/smileys/grin.gif[/img]

That, in a sense, was part of my original question, I suppose.

I'm perfectly aware of [and frequently delighted by] that fact.
However, the sobriquet in question has apparently English roots. And
in my puzzlement I did allude to a more positive usage of the word [img]http://www.egafd.com/forum/smileys/whistle.gif[/img]

Anyway with a little research [which admittedly I ought to have done
before posing the question] I've discovered that 'fink' is German for
'finch'. Hence 'zebra-finch'- a thoroughly charming and thankfully
still fairly-common passerine, Poephila guttata:

....so I've learned something new, which is always a delight, and IMO
the entire purpose of existence- although let's hope zebrafink doesn't
get caught by beutelwolf [img]http://www.egafd.com/forum/smileys/grin.gif[/img]

?es, this is a male zebrafinch. I would rather tell about my zebrafinches than searching for sex tapes, which I do only for my husband. But it would be too much off-topic!
